Terje Askvig, the CEO of Prosafe, says, "The global accommodation market
continues to strengthen led by growing demand in Brazil, in line with
expectations. The new long-term Petrobras tenders may absorb further capacity
from outside Brazil on top of units already in the country. Prosafe stands to
benefit as the market leader in Brazil. Improved market fundamentals, increased
backlog and high operational efficiency support our expectations of future
earnings growth and provide a robust foundation for establishing sustainable
capital structure prior to 2025 maturity."
