  • Simpson Marine gets five yachts worth 6m euros
    THE bounty runs aplenty on the high seas, with Simpson Marine, Asia's largest yacht dealership, taking delivery of five new luxury yachts in Singapore this week.

They give the impression of efficient industrial plants that happen to be floating rather rooted on dry land.

But for those that do, the prominent bright orange enclosed lifeboats would give the impression of a safety-conscious industry.
