André Goedée, Chief Executive Officer Dockwise, commented:
"After a steady first half in line with expectations, Dockwise looks ahead with
optimism on all fronts. The Fairstar acquisition, which accelerates several
strategic objectives, has been decisively concluded on good economic terms for
our shareholders.
Dockwise is rapidly assembling resources from across the combined group to
develop our Logistics Management business; a key aim of the merger. In this
division, a fresh combination of people, skills, client relationships and assets
give us global leadership in an expanding sector. As an illustration, we
already have three vessels on project for the Gorgon development, with a fourth
due to join in October.
The fleet review, ahead of a rejuvenation program, is advancing. We presently
have 22 vessels, with three to come in the form of our flagship MV Dockwise
Vanguard and the two new vessels commissioned by Fairstar. This gives us
considerable flexibility both to reshape the overall fleet to suit evolving
client needs and to remove redundant tonnage from the market. To that aim we are
investigating the option with the yard to upgrade one of the Fairstar newbuilds
from a Type II to a Type I size vessel. Dockwise is set to have a younger,
better proportioned and more efficient fleet.
Backlog is now in its sixth successive quarter of growth; on a like-for-like
basis we have passed our USD 600 million target level and the combined group is
moving toward the USD 850 million mark. We have entered an exciting phase of
development, and feel strongly encouraged by the prospects for Dockwise.
