Awilco Rig 2 Pte. Ltd. ("AR2"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Awilco
Drilling PLC ("Awilco Drilling"), has notified Keppel FELS Limited
("KFELS") that it has exercised its contractual termination right under
the newbuilding contract between KFELS and AR2 for the construction of a
semi-submersible drilling rig, Nordic Spring, as a result of breaches
under the Vessel Construction Contract. At the same time, AR2 has also
exercised its contractual rights under the contract and given KFELS
notice of termination as a result of Force Majeure.
The vessel construction contract provides that on termination AR2 will
be entitled to a refund of the instalments paid to KFELS of USD 43.0
million plus accrued interest.
Nordic Spring is one of the two semi-submersible drilling rigs of Moss
Maritime CS60 Eco MW design ordered by Awilco Drilling subsidiaries from
KFELS, which both now have been terminated. In addition, a separate
Awilco Drilling subsidiary has an option for one further rig of the same
design.
