Market News In 2 Minutes @ 13th August 2014

Market News in 2 minutes
As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.

Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
Following are the "Market News In 2 Minutes" for today :
 
1. Cosco Corp (F83) - Its 51% owned subsidiary, Cosco (Dalian) Shipyard Co., has won contracts valued over US$470 million ($588 million) to  build four subsea supply vessels from Maersk Supply Service AS which is part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. The vessels are scheduled for delivery in 4Q2016 and 1H2017 respectively. Maersk Supply Service also has the option to build two more subsea supply vessels. (source : The Edge)
