Anton Dibowitz, CEO, commented: "The offshore drilling market continues to show signs of improvement with increased tendering activity and better contract economics. We expect more activity in 2019 to lead to a tighter supply demand balance and improved pricing in 2020 as the recovery progresses.
We are delighted to have entered into a Joint Venture with Sonangol to manage and operate four rigs focused on the Angolan market. This relationship provides us with access to a market that is expected to show significant growth over the next five years as well as an opportunity to continue expanding our fleet of premium ultra-deepwater rigs.
We remain focused on continued cost reduction and disciplined use of capital including the terms on which we will contract our premium fleet." This information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
