Awilco Drilling PLC: Receipt of Notice of Termination of Construction Contract

Awilco Drilling PLC (the Company) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary Awilco Rig 2 Pte. Ltd. (AR2) has today received a notice from Keppel FELS purporting to terminate the Vessel Construction Contract of the semi-submersible drilling rig Nordic Spring (“Notice”). Keppel FELS has also served AR2 with a notice of arbitration.

This follows a letter from AR2 to Keppel FELS raising concerns about the status of the project. AR2 vigorously denies the allegations by Keppel FELS in the Notice and considers the vessel construction contract to be intact. The Company will provide further information in due course.

Nordic Spring is a semi-submersible drilling rig of Moss Maritime CS60 Eco MW design ordered by Awilco Drilling’s subsidiary from Keppel FELS. In addition, a separate Awilco Drilling subsidiary has an option for one further rig of the same design.

Bids have been opened for the large Petrobras PLSV tender, with the key takeaway the solid dayrates offered, supporting our view that PLSVs likely will be key earnings contributors in the coming years for companies active in Brazil, namely Subsea7, DOF (via its 50% of DOFCON) and Paratus (via its 50% of Seabras). While it is unclear how many vessels Petrobras will award under this tender, we believe the high dayrates and solid industry discipline are key. For high-spec PLSVs that are mostly offe...
