Riding the Renewable Wave: Seatrium, China aviation oil, RH Petrogas and Mermaid Maritime’s Bold Push for Growth

Riding the Renewable Wave: Seatrium, China aviation oil, RH Petrogas and Mermaid Maritime’s Bold Push for Growth

As global energy transitions accelerate, companies with strong foundations in offshore energy and infrastructure are emerging as leaders. Two standout names— Seatrium, China aviation oil, RH Petrogas and Mermaid Maritime —are proving their resilience and potential in the renewable energy and offshore service markets. Here’s why they are worth your attention.

Seatrium: Capturing Brazil’s Offshore Renewable Boom

Seatrium is strategically poised to ride the wave of renewable energy growth, especially in Brazil, a country with untapped offshore wind potential. With no offshore wind installations currently in place, Brazil has set ambitious plans to install 700 GW of capacity—a monumental shift toward clean energy. Industry giant Petrobras, in collaboration with Norway’s Equinor, has already unveiled offshore wind projects totaling 37.4 GW.

Seatrium’s robust track record positions it as a prime player to capitalize on this unprecedented market opportunity. Backed by UOB Kay Hian’s “BUY” recommendation, the company is priced at S$2.31 with an optimistic Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio of 1.15x, reflecting its solid future outlook and a valuation based on its projected 2025 book value of S$2.01.

Mermaid Maritime: Resilience Amid Challenges

Despite headwinds in Q3 2024, Mermaid Maritime continues to demonstrate its resilience and growth potential in the offshore services industry. The company reported a subsea fleet utilization rate of 87%, its highest this year, underscoring strong operational performance. While revenue dipped due to completed decommissioning contracts in the UK and Thailand, a robust order book of US$814 million highlights its sustained market leadership.

Notably, Mermaid’s net profit stood firm at US$3.8 million (excluding a forex loss of US$2.7 million), meeting forecasts. With a target price of S$0.16, Mermaid Maritime is trading at a 32% discount to global peers, offering a compelling opportunity for investors. A potential rebound in the US dollar against the Thai Baht could further bolster its financial outlook.

Why These Companies Are Worth Watching
Both Seatrium and Mermaid Maritime are positioned to capture opportunities in sectors poised for exponential growth:

Seatrium’s potential dominance in Brazil’s offshore wind market aligns with the global shift toward renewables, making it a key player in the energy transition.

Mermaid Maritime’s robust operational metrics and discounted valuation make it an attractive prospect for investors seeking stability and growth in the offshore services sector.

As the renewable energy sector gathers momentum and global offshore energy markets evolve, these companies represent some of the most promising opportunities for investors. Whether it’s riding the green energy wave or capitalizing on proven offshore expertise, Seatrium and Mermaid Maritime are charting paths toward sustainable growth.
