Deployment 4000 tonne carousel
In February 2020, Oceanteam entered into a three-year agreement for rental of
one of its 4000-tonne carousels. Parties to the agreement have agreed on a
contract variation whereby the carousel has been returned approximately one year
early.
Hans Reinigert, CEO of Oceanteam, commented: “In view of increasing activity in
the renewables segment and oil & gas industry, we expect that, with the return
of one of our larger carousels, we will be able to take advantage of higher
rates observed in the subsea cable and umbilical markets.
Oceanteam Solutions should thereby generate sufficient revenue to cover not only
for the annual overhead costs of Solutions itself but also those of our
investment platform. We are of the opinion this is a very realistic target and
meeting the objective would lead to a cash neutral result for the group in 2022.
Following substantial losses in recent years, the turnaround of the company,
that initially comprised a debt to equity conversion and later on the divestment
of shipping assets as well as various cost reductions, has been completed.
All in all, the turbulent years are behind us and we look at the future with
optimism. We are currently exploring several M&A opportunities in line with our
strategic outlook and firm aim to improve shareholder value. Further updates on
this process will be provided in due course.”
