Comments

  • Contingent liabilities related to Alfa Lift and VIND 1 specified in note 10, totalling \$381 million.
  • Payments in relation to investments under the construction contracts: Final 10% instalment for Alfa Lift prior to delivery.
  • \$22 million in drawdown of debt during the quarter.
  • \$28 million undrawn from RCF at quarter-end 2021 (and as today 28 May 2021).

Status financing

  • The Group has accepted a firm offer, subject to satisfactory documentation, for a \$135.0 million Senior Secured Green ECA Credit Facility agreement for the post-delivery financing of the wind foundation installation vessel Alfa Lift.
  • In addition to the above and as previously communicated, we have a need for \$40-50 million to take us past delivery of Alfa Lift. Funding options:
    • Bond market
    • Industrial partner/M&A
    • Equity issue

Transportation

Operations and contracts

  • Markets continue to be affected by hesitation to commit due to Covid-19 restrictions, but activity levels and pricing continue to show modest improvements as predicted.
  • YTD utilisation in Q1 was 90% and Opex in line with budget at \$9,413 per day.
  • All five vessels were fitted with exhaust gas scrubbers in 2019 to a total Capex of \$11.4 million. Savings on fuel cost compared to using Low Sulphur Fuel Oil 0.5% stands at \$8.9 million or a payback of 78% so far.

Installation

Why has no new contracts been announced in the quarter?

Our timings have unfortunately been too optimistic

  • Not one of the projects we are tendering for has been awarded so far.
  • Developers are delayed with their announcements compared to earlier plans.
  • This is primarily due to everybody wanting to secure the latest WTG technologies, which has led to re-design of wind farms.
  • With very few exceptions, all have maintained their original execution schedules.
  • Several have to award latest by Q3 2021 to avoid delaying other key milestones related to FID or auction participation.
  • Alfa Lift and Vind 1 are both available for the busy 2024 season.

Selected Projects

This overview shows a selection of projects in the market from 2023/24.

Installation

Operations and contracts

  • The Dogger Bank A and B projects are in detail design and showing good progress.
  • Currently in dialogue with the client regarding impact of certain changes introduced by the client.
  • We have placed a major subcontract for the rental of the piling hammer with Menck GmbH.
  • Other subcontracts for grillage and lifting equipment have been placed or are imminent.
  • No undesired incidents and the Client relationship remains good and constructive.
  • Start offshore construction in Q3 2022.

Newbuilding status

Alfa Lift

  • Vessel was successfully undocked on 28 February and moved to the outfitting quay. The fourth payment milestone was fulfilled.
  • Liebherr successfully performed separate overload tests of main crane hooks (picture).
  • Liebherr main crane slewing column and A-frame safely arrived at shipyard and was lifted onto the deck in late April (picture).
  • Crane pedestal machining soon to complete.
  • Shipyard maintains vessel delivery end 2021, but as we will install mission equipment before departure from China, we will keep the vessel at the shipyard in Q1 2022.

VIND 1

  • Basic design almost complete, detail design approaching 20%.
  • All key equipment selected, VDL target of 10,000t.
  • Delivery mid-2023.

A competitor's view on how converted WTIVs compare with newbuilds

They did not get it entirely right…

Some key questions to ask

  • What is the crane's capacity at a more realistic outreach of 45m?
  • What does max lifting height mean is it main hook / auxiliary hook / boom extensions ?
  • For the first WTG in a set you have to lift towers above the nacelles, so what is the max tower height that the main hook can lift over the nacelles on deck?
  • How much has jacking speed been affected to achieve a higher VDL than originally designed?
  • How much Capex has been put into the vessel in total?
  • With deeper sites and ever-increasing hub heights, what is the maximum water depth the vessel can install in?
  • 1) In extended mode 2,500t in retracted mode.
  • 2) Medium hub height/tower weight.

Numbers can be deceptive with upgraded vessels – it does not help to be able to carry the WTGs if you cannot lift components over the deck or jack up high enough to install them.

Recent newbuilds published indicate a substantial price increase

We believe our Vind 1 has hit a sweet-spot between Capex and capabilities

The larger unit would need +75kUSD/day to provide the same payback time

1) Incremental

Case study: How does number of WTGs carried affect execution time?

Using a 15MW WTG with typical tower weights and transportation distance

The relationship between number of WTGs / trip and number of trips is inversely exponential (see chart).

Reason for diminishing schedule gains of taking more WTGs / trip is that the primary difference to the schedule is only the additional sailing time, as the same number of WTGs are loaded and installed.

Therefore, from a point around 4 WTGs / trip the extra cost for a larger vessel is increasingly more difficult to defend for projects that do not have extended sailing distances.

Difference in schedules between

  • 2 → 3 WTGs / Trip (P50): 33 days
  • 3 → 4 WTGs / Trip (P50): 19 days
  • 4 → 5 WTGs / Trip (P50): 11 days
  • 5 → 6 WTGs / Trip (P50): 9 days

P50 WDT indicates the duration when there is a 50% likelihood of non-exceedance due to weather down-time.

Market and Outlook

Offshore wind

Transportation

  • We have already seen improved utilisation, to be followed by stronger pricing.
  • We see a material reduction of available capacity due to competitors' backlog on oil & gas projects which have not been targeted by the Company, and limited newbuilding activity.
  • Bidding Offshore Wind related transportation projects up until 2027, which will represent a substantial part of the market with foundation components to be transported
    • from Asia to Europe, and
    • From Europe to the US.
  • Oil & gas decommissioning as well as new gas processing facilities in the Middle East will develop a healthy volume of additional transportation opportunities.
  • This is a strategically important market segment in support of our offshore wind strategy.

Installation

  • The market looks stronger every day, with Rystad now predicting 250GW installed capacity by 2030, up from 31GW end 2020.
  • There will be a critical bottleneck especially within monopile installation from 2024/25, with no newbuilds having been announced in the last 12 months.
  • Both our newbuilds are available from 2024 onwards.
  • The Company has >\$2 billion in open tenders. None have been awarded so far.
  • Developers remain delayed with their contract awards, with several having to make a call at the very latest in Q3 to achieve overall project milestones.
  • OHT will continue to be disciplined wrt. pricing and is confident that our timing to market is spot on.
