The Q4 2017 vessel statistics includes eight vessels for the full
quarter, as well as Ramform Vanguard for one
month before it was cold-stacked. The high share of Stacked/Standby
is primarily due to winter warm-stacking* of two vessels, in
accordance with PGS' current vessel operation plan. All
cold-stacked* vessels are excluded from the statistics from the
time of stacking.
PGS will release its Q4 and preliminary full year
2017 results on Thursday February 1, 2018, at approximately 07:00
am Central European Time (CET). A corresponding presentation is
scheduled for 09:00 am CET the same day.
*The term "cold-stacked" is used when a vessel is
taken out of operation for an extended period of time. Costs are
reduced to a minimum, with the vessel preserved for a long idle
time, all or most in-sea seismic equipment removed from the vessel,
and typically the crew required to operate the vessel is
terminated. Use of the term "warm-stacked" means that the vessel is
temporarily taken out of operation with streamers and all other
equipment necessary to perform seismic operation still onboard the
vessel and the crew required to operate the vessel can be sourced
with some delay.
