i'm in marine line but not keppel / jurong. heard so far their bonuses almost alike.. in terms of months.
not sure though about salary. but in my impression Keppel guys looks much better overall.
Exposure is super great ... but workload is the huge turn down. Same for both shipyards.
if you manage to pull through years in shipyard you might be someone great someday

My frens bro got his PR approved in 2010, but then again he's an executive manager in infineon and has an MBA.
It depends really. Working for keppel or sembawang, expect a rather big bonus payout. Keppels bonus for 2010 was 8.5 months if im not mistaken. Sembawang wasnt trailing far with around 6 months.
You can focus on pressure vessels or piping as a specialization. Asme boiler and pressure vessel for the marine industry and api standard 510 for OnG pressure vessel inspection code.
Personally im focusing in HSE and osha training since i find the safety regulations that are implemented here isnt as effective as the standards followed overseas by either shell, transocean or BP. In singapore, they tout themselves on safety but its just a selfish excuse to cover their ass and to appease their clients since they follow singapores method of following rules, with large fines rather then properly educating and making people realize the problem.
