Our dedication to excellence, coupled with our robust operational capabilities, position Prosafe for future growth and value creation.   Here are some key highlights:   📈 Financials: We achieved $98 million in operating revenue with four vessels in operation and our backlog including options stood at $258 million at year-end. ⚓Operational: Outstanding operating and safety performance throughout the fleet of seven accommodation units. Utilisation was 41%, reflecting four rigs in operation and extensive mobilisation and contract preparation activities  🌍 Global Reach: The Safe Zephyrus started a 650-day contract with Petrobras after mobilizing from the North Sea, demonstrating our ability to deliver across different regions. Meanwhile, the Safe Concordia commenced a 330-day contract with options in the US Gulf of Mexico. 👥 People: We were happy to welcome new members to our Management Team and the overall organisation, whose expertise will play a crucial role in driving our company forward.    Terje Askvig Bård Haugan Karine Cosemans Yennie Feng
