Fugro has pulled the plug on its subsea divestment to Shelf Subsea.
The firm today confirmed it had pulled-out of the sale of its subsea services business in Asia Pacific to Shelf Subsea. The parties failed to agree closing conditions when Fugro called time.
A spokesperson said: “As a result, Fugro will retain the vessels, ROVs, other equipment and personnel related to the business. Fugro will not acquire an equity interest in Shelf Subsea, as was previously communicated. The subsea services activities in Asia Pacific will be incorporated in and reported as part of the Marine division (in the new divisional structure as of 2017). Fugro will continue to explore partnership opportunities to reduce its exposure to the larger vessels used for the installation and construction part of the business.
“The cancellation of the agreement has no material adverse effect on Fugro’s overall financial position.”
