Marine industry Involvements - Vessels General Strong oil & gas market prices not being in decrease Still needs dedicated vessels for offshore wind farms installation Current financial status not positive to support innovative vessels construction Geotechnical, seismic, drilling, Large fleet but lot of demand > large risk of unavailability Costly vessels to built and operate Windustry installation Vessels Currently 7 in service About a small dozen in order to be delivered by 2012/2013 Only large crane ship shape jack-ups, what about fully-assembled WT Vessels? Supply and support vessels Large fleet Very aggressive and competitive demand market New designs for days to weeks in stand-by at site Work boats and service ships Large fleet Mostly must be converted or equipped with dedicated tools (i.e. transfer of personnel) Fleet for special personnel transfer vessels ( surfers ) may be increased 19
