The offshore oil platform builder from Singapore, Keppel Offshore & Marine, said on Monday that it has made the full payment of fines and damages amounting to around US$ 65 million to the Federal Government.

Keppel Offshore collaborated with the Brazilian Government and the Attorney General’s Office and the Office of the Comptroller General throughout the entire corruption accusation process involving Petrobras in Operation Lava Jato.

During its press statement, the company emphasized that it reinforces its ethical principles after settling its debt with the Union.

“Keppel remains committed to maintaining high ethical standards and robust controls across all of its global operations,” it said.

Since December 2017, the company has been working with criminal authorities in Brazil, Singapore, and the United States regarding the corrupt payments made by Zwi Skornicki, its former agent in Brazil.

The company is currently moving toward a merger with Sembcorp Marine after shareholders agreed to the deal last December.

Now, with the payment of the fines to the National Government, Keppel Offshore hopes to leave in the past the involvement of its former agent in Operation Lava Jato with the state company Petrobras.
