Tender update
Prosafe expects further tenders in Brazil from Petrobras and other operators
with contract commencements from end 2024 onwards.
A tender was recently issued for 2025 operations in the Norwegian Continental
Shelf for a high specification accommodation unit. The tender has an expected
duration of approximately 6 months.
In addition, Prosafe continues to see an increase in enquiries from potential
clients and is optimistic that there will be additional tenders and/or direct
awards in the North Sea in the coming months with a particular focus on 2025
onwards.
Terje Askvig says, "I am very excited to have joined Prosafe as the new CEO on
1 November. Prosafe is the market leader in our niche, has a great team with
fully integrated operations and some of the best and most modern vessels in the
market. The oil service industry is on a positive trajectory with clients
increasing spending as a result of the favourable oil price and a renewed focus
on maintenance. The accommodation vessel market is late cyclical and driven by
hook ups and maintenance work. We see favourable supply/demand dynamics going
into 2025, and increasingly so in the years beyond. We already see increased
tendering activity. This, in combination with the fact that Prosafe is fully
funded to 2025, following the NOK 350 million private placement in October,
means we are well positioned to capitalize on the market ahead. Prosafe will
continue its strategy of seeking sustainable rates in a tightening market."
Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation
vessels. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS.
