Andre Goedee, CEO of Dockwise Ltd., commented:

"The fourth quarter was challenging, with subdued rig and transport markets and keen pricing pressure. However, the efforts of our global sales force secured a high proportion of the available work and we are encouraged that even in difficult times Dockwise can maintain a healthy backlog. The Group finished the year with good utilisation rates, healthy cashflows and a performance in line with market expectations.

At a corporate level, Dockwise was transformed during the fourth quarter, raising USD 250 million in equity from new and existing shareholders to reduce its debt burden to manageable levels. This has been of vital importance for Dockwise, a business designed to target the largest maritime transport projects with multi-year timelines, and we are already seeing opportunities beyond 2010. The Euronext Amsterdam listing achieved alongside the balance sheet restructuring offers improved liquidity for our investors together with better access to potential future capital for Dockwise."
