Prosafe SE: Operational and financial update Q1 2021
Operational
The fleet utilisation rate in the first quarter of 2021 was 25.7 per cent (Q1
2020: 32.7 per cent).
Safe Zephyrus completed her five-yearly special periodic survey at Averøy yard
in Norway before mobilising to the Shearwater platform in the UK where she
started a 145-day contract for Shell on 27 February 2021. Shell has an option to
extend the contract after the firm duration by up to 30 days.
Safe Caledonia was mobilised to the Elgin platform in the UK and commenced a
contract for Total on 30 March 2021. The contract has a firm duration of 162
days and a 30-day option.
Safe Boreas is preparing for the Buzzard contract for CNOOC in the UK which is
due to start shortly. The contract has a firm duration of 100 days and three 30-
day options.
Safe Eurus has been providing safety and maintenance support to Petrobras during
a three-year contract since November 2019 and was in full operation throughout
the quarter.
Safe Notos was off-hire through January 2021 conducting her five-yearly special
periodic survey and resumed operations on 6 February 2021 continuing through
until mid-November 2021.
Safe Concordia was in early January awarded a 117-day contract in Trinidad and
Tobago. The vessel is now preparing for this contract which is scheduled to
commence in July 2021.
Safe Scandinavia and Regalia were idle in the quarter and were laid up in
Norway. Regalia was sold for recycling in April 2021.
The impact from Covid-19 on the macro environment has been challenging, with the
company also experiencing cases on the Safe Zephyrus. Implemented procedures
limited the impact and the situation was rapidly controlled. Safety measures at
workplaces and vessels to protect people and assets remain rigorously in place.
