Dutch heavy lift operator Dockwise announced today that it has been awarded 10 new contracts and contract extensions for the mobilization of six drilling rigs, the transportation of a pipe-lay vessel and transfer station, and the transportation of a hull for a floating production structure. The total value of these new contracts is reportedly near USD $56 million.

These delays could impact timing of the conversion of backlog into revenues. We remain encouraged in seeing that no longer term oil & gas projects have been withdrawn and tender activity is unabated.”
