Coastal executive chairman Ng Chin Heng said: "I am pleased to announce that Coastal Group has secured its first batch of vessel sales orders for FY2015.
"With these latest sales, our vessel sales order book has further increased to a high of MYR1.46bn, balanced with our long-term charter contract for Pemex project."
The company said that the revenue stream from this deal would contribute to the top and bottom line performance of the firm for the financial years between 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2017.
"Despite current signs of gloom, Coastal Group envisages the medium to long-term fundamentals of O&G (oil and gas) industry to remain positive given the hardly substitutable nature of petroleum," Heng added.
