Floatel opts for second accommodation semi

摘要

Floatel International has exercised its option to build a second new semisub-mersible accommodation rig to support offshore operations. With the oil price now well over $100/bbl, demand for such services should remain strong for a long time to come, says CEO Peter Jacobs-son. Themarketfundamentalsforfloating accommodation units have not essentially changed since the company placed the order for its first unit the Floatel Superior with the Keppel FELS yard in Singapore in March 2007. There are 19 semisub units serving the world market, with an average age of 25 years and the majority of them controlled by one owner.
