periods. By downstreams: 1) FPSO still is the key driver for shipbuilding segment. Mgmt sky.hong@ubs.com

now expects global FPSO upcycle to last 8-10 years, on more robust deepwater oil & gas +86-21-3866 8856

investments and strong project pipelines across expanding clients groups (eg, Hanwha Mandy Liu
