Prosafe SE: Operational and financial update Q2 2020

Prosafe SE: Operational and financial update Q2 2020

Operational

The fleet utilisation rate in the second quarter of 2020 was 6.5 per cent (Q2

2019: 71.6 per cent).

Prosafe refers to the press release from 9 April 2020 regarding discussions with

clients about current and upcoming contracts in light of COVID-19 and the oil

price collapse. Certain discussions remain ongoing. Please see status and update

per vessel below.

The Safe Zephyrus was ready to mobilize from Norway to support EnQuest's Thistle

project, but was instructed by EnQuest on 20 March 2020 not to mobilize. Prosafe

has claimed the full contract value, ca. USD 2 million. Thereafter, Safe

Zephyrus was scheduled to mobilise to Shell at Shearwater to commence a 110-day

contract with a 30-day option in Q2 2020. Prosafe has been informed by Shell

that this project will not be performed in 2020 and discussions with the client

are ongoing. The vessel was currently laid up at Averøy yard in Norway.

Safe Caledonia was laid up in the UK. The vessel was initially prepared to

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

in the UK sector of the North Sea from mid-April 2020, but Prosafe and Total

have agreed to defer this project by one year.

Safe Notos has been operating on a three-year and 222-day contract for Petrobras

in Brazil since December 2016. Safe Eurus has been providing safety and

maintenance support to Petrobras during a three-year contract since November

2019. On 21 March 2020, client personnel on both vessels were demobilised and

the vessels were moved closer to shore. During this period, the vessels were on

95% stand-by day rate. From early April 2020, Prosafe has been requested to

agree with a suspension of the contract for a period of up to 120 days during

which period no income was recognised, but all logistical services, fuel and

catering support will continue to be provided by Petrobras, and any days of

suspension will be added to the firm period of the contract. Commercial and

payment terms related to the recommencement are subject to ongoing discussions.

Safe Concordia completed the contract for Equinor at the Peregrino FPSO in the

Campos Basin offshore Brazil on 11 May 2020 and is presently laid up in Brazil

available for charter. The vessel was on full day rate during the operational

period in the quarter.

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

up in Norway.  Regalia is being marketed for recycling.

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

the company has successfully implemented proper safety measurements at work

places and vessels to protect people and assets, as well as a number of cost-

saving initiatives to protect liquidity.

Financial

In light of the commercial discussions with clients as outlined above, there is

uncertainty related to the extent to which the order backlog will materialize in

2020, as well as to the final outcome of these negotiations.

Please refer to separate press release from 31 July 2020 regarding the ongoing

discussion with lenders about a long-term financial solution for the company.

Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation

vessels. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS.
