Dockwise Ltd: Aasta Hansteen Spar Buoy Third Contract for Dockwise Vanguard
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Backlog Update: USD 57 Million in Awards
Breda, The Netherlands, 20 March 2012 Dockwise Ltd. today announces six new
awards totaling USD 57 million, for execution in H1 2012 and 2015.
The wins include a reservation contract, securing the transportation of a spar
buoy for the Statoil operated Aasta Hansteen offshore production field, formerly
known as the Luva field. The spar buoy, with an approximate length of 200
meters, a diameter of 50 meter and weight of 45,000 tonnes, will be transported
on the new build super vessel Dockwise Vanguard from either Korea or Finland,
subject to yard choice, to Norway in 2015. Final contract award from Statoil is
dependent on formal project sanction for the Aasta Hansteen development.
Further wins for other clients comprise the transport of four drilling rigs to
Rotterdam, Saudi Arabia and Singapore (all for H1 2012) and a single load of
barges to Brazil in Q2 2012.
André Goedée, Chief Executive Officer of Dockwise, commented: "These contract
wins, particularly a double rig cargo on the Black Marlin from Singapore to
Rotterdam, are further proof of the rise in activity levels in oil & gas
exploration seen since the end of 2011.
The contract win for Dockwise Vanguard underlines our clients' recognition by of
the advantages of a vessel of the scale and capacity of Dockwise Vanguard. Spar
buoys were an asset class that we identified as potential for this vessel and
consequently I am excited that the Aasta Hansteen spar buoy contract is the
first to materialize of those prospects we are discussing with clients for the
post 2013 period.
We are actively pursuing several short term business opportunities and as before
actively tendering for T&I projects in various important regions. As a result
we are confident of further increases in backlog in due course."
