This transaction increases the gross cash in Northern Supply AS with USDm 4.2 compared to not executing this transaction.

"These transactions are in line with our expectations of an increase in the value of our assets. In addition, these transactions strengthen the cash position in the company structure, still with no debt, and further enables Standard Drilling to pursue other attractive opportunities within the market the Company operates" says Martin Nes, Chairman of the Board in SDSD.

After the transactions SDSD has a 100% ownership of five large sized PSV's and ~26% ownership of 12 medium sized PSV's.
