Statement from the CEO, Mons Aase: "We deliver another solid quarter with improved cash flow and experiencing strong markets within all fleet segments. In 3rd quarter the performance has again been good within the subsea project activity and the extension of the PIDF contract in Brazil and the SURF contract in West-Africa are just reflecting the high activity within subsea. We have also experienced strong markets in the North Sea especially for the PSV fleet. Petrobras is out with several tenders, and we expect the backlog in Brazil to grow further at improved rates. Based on the good performance so far and the high backlog for Q4, the EBITDA guidance for the year has been increased to NOK 4.75-4.85 billion, from NOK 4.5-4.75 billion".
