Prosafe SE: Operational and financial update Q3 2020

Prosafe SE: Operational and financial update Q3 2020

Operational

The fleet utilisation rate in the third quarter of 2020 was 16.4 per cent (Q3

2019: 48.2 per cent).

Prosafe has been in discussions with several clients about existing contracts in

light of Covid-19 and the oil price collapse, and has managed to protect its

order book by moving contracts from 2020 to 2021 with some further extensions.

Please see the update per vessel below.

Prosafe continues to claim full contract value from EnQuest relating to the

planned Thistle project for the Safe Zephyrus.

Prosafe has agreed with Shell to defer and amend the contract for the Safe

Zephyrus at the Shearwater platform. The revised firm duration of the contract

is 115 days and the contract is scheduled to commence in March 2021. Shell has

the option of adding 30 or 45 days to the front end, resulting in a possible

earlier commencement date. In addition, Shell retains the option to extend the

contract after the firm duration by up to 30 days. The Safe Zephyrus is

currently laid up at Averøy yard in Norway preparing to conduct her five-yearly

special periodic survey.

Safe Caledonia is currently laid up in the UK. The vessel is scheduled to

commence a 162-day contract with a 30-day option for Total at Elgin in the UK

from Q1 2021. This contract was originally scheduled to commence in 2020.

Safe Eurus has been providing safety and maintenance support to Petrobras during

a three-year contract since November 2019. From April 2020, the Safe Eurus was

suspended for 120 days at zero rate. The vessel has been on standby rate since

early August and recommenced operations on 24 September 2020.

The original three-year and 222-day firm contract for the Safe Notos that was

due to complete in July 2020 was suspended for 120 days at zero rate from April

2020. The vessel was back on standby rate in early August 2020 and resumed

operations in early October 2020.

Safe Concordia was idle in the quarter and is laid up in Brazil. Safe

Scandinavia, Safe Boreas and Regalia were idle in the quarter and are laid up in

Norway. Regalia has been marketed for recycling with possible commencement of

recycling in Q1 2021.

Although the impact from Covid-19 on the macro environment has been challenging,

the company has successfully implemented proper safety measurements at

workplaces and vessels to protect people and assets, as well as several cost-

saving initiatives to protect liquidity.
