Statement from the CEO, Mons S. Aase: "We deliver another solid quarter despite a normal low season in certain regions. The Group has been awarded several contracts particularly for the AHTS and subsea fleet. The tender activity has continued to be high, hence, expect the backlog to continue to grow for the remainder of the year.  The current contract coverage for the Group is 88% for 2024 and 61% for 2025 which gives good visibility on the earnings the next 18 to 24 months. The repair of Skandi Buzios is going according to plan and the vessel will be on route to Brazil during 2nd quarter. The recently published Integrated Annual Report for 2023 confirms the Group's commitment to continue having sustainable operations and reduce the CO2 emissions from the fleet going forward. The EBITDA guiding for 2024 is adjusted from USD 470 -520 million to USD 490-520 million".
