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."
