André Goedée, Chief Executive Officer Dockwise, commented:
The fourth quarter concluded a demanding, but ultimately successful, 2011 for
Dockwise. Despite arduous trading conditions in our short term markets,
prominently reflected in utilisation levels, the company generated good cash
flows and maintained a demanding capex programme. We also sustained an
impressive marketing effort; backlog now stands at a company record of USD 531
million, up 40 per cent up from USD 380 million a year earlier.
Construction of our industry-leading new vessel, the Vanguard, is on time and
budget, and the ship has already been booked for two major projects from
launch. Dockwise is developing an enviable track record in tackling challenging
assignments and as a result we are strongly positioned for the remarkable growth
phase ahead in off-shore Transport & Installation projects.
