is fully equipped with 4-point mooring system, 45 Tonne Deck Pedestal crane with 120 foot<br />
boom and is also DP zero /DP1 capable.<br />

Dutch operator who will in-turn deploy this vessel to support offshore works in Gabon, west<br />
coast of Africa.<br />
Executive Director and Deputy President of <strong>Otto</strong> <strong>Marine</strong>, Mr Aw Chin Leng, commented,<br />
“High oil price continues to stimulate E&P activities and demand for offshore support<br />
vessels remain encouraging. We have been working on expanding our ship chartering<br />
arm through increasing our fleet and growing our geographical coverage. Africa is<br />
one of our key target markets and we certainly have made inroads and our presence<br />
felt as we have around eight offshore vessels deployed there.<br />
We remain dedicated in growing our ship chartering business and will continue to<br />
explore vessel deployment to new geographical locations globally.”<br />
Managing Director of Global Workboats, a 100% owned subsidiary of <strong>Otto</strong> <strong>Marine</strong>,<br />
specializing in offshore supply vessel operations, Capt. Mike Kelly, commented that “We<br />
are pleased with the progress we made in Africa. With <strong>Otto</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> providing us with<br />
high quality assets to expand our existing fleet, we remain confident about achieving<br />
a critical mass to enjoy economies of scale. We will continue to work on maximizing<br />
utilization rates so as to optimize returns moving ahead.”<br />
