embarked on major oil and gas exploration<br />

and production programmes to reduce its<br />

dependence on foreign oil and to fuel its<br />

rapidly developing economy. The Indian<br />

sub-continent is a good springboard for<br />

SapuraCrest to venture into the potentially<br />

lucrative markets in the Middle East and<br />

Africa after successful market penetration<br />

into Japan and Australia. The Company<br />

targets to increase overseas revenue<br />

contribution from 30.0% in FY 2010 to<br />

50.0% over the next three years.<br />

The Group has invested more than RM2<br />

billion in strategic assets and technology<br />

over the past 5 years to win bids and to<br />

provide technologically superior and high<br />

quality services. Sapura 3000 is a prime<br />

example of a strategy that is paying off,<br />

having fulfilled its promise of being a<br />

strong earnings growth catalyst for the<br />

Group. Our growing stable of assets will<br />

include the heavy lift cum pipelay vessel,<br />

LTS 3000, a new generation construction<br />

vessel that combines superior functional<br />

efficiency with high value features,<br />

under our joint venture with L&T. This<br />

is complemented by a new medium lift<br />

pipelay vessel QP2000 under a joint<br />

venture with Quippo Prakash Marine<br />

Holdings Pte (Quippo) of India. The two<br />

vessels will be deployed for the recently<br />

awarded Pan Malaysia Integrated T&I<br />

contracts. LTS 3000 will also be utilised for<br />

the Mumbai High North Field Development<br />

Project later this year.<br />

The Marine Services division has also<br />

taken delivery of Sarku 300, a new<br />

accommodation work barge. Our<br />

Australian subsidiary Total Marine<br />

Technology Pty Ltd, has launched its new<br />

deepwater ROV, the Typhoon at the Oil<br />

& Gas Asia 2009 Exhibition in June 2009.<br />

Designed and built in-house, the unique<br />

feature of the Typhoon is the patented<br />

seabed-referenced positioning system for<br />

deepwater capabilities. With the addition<br />

of the Typhoon, SapuraCrest currently has<br />

12 ROVs in its fleet, with two more currently<br />

under construction.<br />

Even as we embark on the asset<br />

enhancement strategy, we constantly<br />

manage costs whilst improving<br />

productivity and efficiency. This was the<br />

major thrust of a continuous improvement<br />

programme that was launched last year.<br />

With full commitment and support from<br />

our people, these efforts are already<br />

bearing fruit with significant savings due to<br />

efficiency improvement realised last year.<br />

In the eyes of the public, SapuraCrest<br />

stands for many things and many see us<br />

as a home-grown Malaysian success story<br />

not only domestically but in competing<br />

regionally. It is no secret, however, that<br />

the core of our success has always been<br />

our people and our corporate values and<br />

by building on these values, SapuraCrest<br />

is what it is today, an entity respected by<br />
