Ezion Welcomes New Investors

Owning one of the largest and most sophisticated class of Multi-Purpose Self Propelled Jack-up Rigs (Liftboats) globally, Ezion today has operations around the world.

It is one of the first to promote the usage of Liftboats in Asia, Middle East and West Africa. Ezion is also the market leader in Southeast Asia and Australia to have the experience and track record to handle offshore logistics projects in environmentally challenging conditions.

Ezion expects to grow its fleet and capabilities significantly as it strives to achieve its vision to be a world-class corporation and the market leader in Asia Pacific.

Mr Chew Thiam Keng, Group CEO of Ezion said: “We are most happy to have the privilege of working with Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, an esteemed and most well regarded global investor. On behalf of the Board and management of Ezion, I warmly welcome his investment. This investment will allow Ezion to leverage on our new shareholders’ extensive network of resources and vast experience, in particular in Asia, and to further expand our business in the vibrant offshore Oil and Gas industry.

We also believe that the proceeds received from this investment will allow us to better position ourselves to meet the strong demand of clients for our product and services, balance our capital structure and allow us to keep up with the growth without having to raise further equity for at least the next 12 months based on current business prospects,” added Mr Chew.

Credit Suisse acted as sole arranger for the proposed subscription.
