EU and US sanctions on Russia not expected to impact VSS operations and financials in 2014


Four of Viking Supply Ships’ AHTS-vessels, of which three with ice class 1A and
one icebreaker, are currently operating offshore Russia in the Kara Sea. The
contract applies to the drilling seasons 2014 and 2015, with options for the
drilling seasons 2016 and 2017. The drilling seasons are expected to commence
around May each year. Viking Supply Ships is also contracted for consulting
services related to the offshore operations in the Kara Sea for the years 2014
and 2015.

The present EU and US sanctions are not expected to impact Viking Supply Ships’
operations and financials in 2014. It is too early to say whether sanctions will
impact the drilling seasons 2015 and onwards.
