Lee transformed a sleepy backwater into a thriving metropolis that today is at the heart of international oil and gas — despite having no indigenous hydrocarbons.
Singapore is home to local corporation Keppel, the subsidiary of which, Keppel Fels, is the world’s number one jack-up builder, and to other offshore fabricators such as SMOE, Dyna-Mac and PPL Shipyard. These Singapore yards build, convert and repair offshore vessels, structures and drilling units for projects in the harsh environment of the North Sea and in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as for field developments within South-East Asia.
