SBM Offshore Reaches Final Settlement of its Yme Insurance Claim
11 September 2018 - 2:01AM
September 10, 2018
SBM Offshore is pleased to announce full and
final settlement of its insurance claim related to the Yme project.
The agreement now reached with remaining insurers of the Yme
project follows partial settlements announced on July 17, 2017,
August 11, 2017 and August 9, 2018.
Including the prior settlements, SBM Offshore's
insurance recoveries related to the Yme project represent a total
amount close to US$390 million, which includes a final increment of
US$48.5 million.
After reimbursement of the significant claim
related expenses and legal fees, the remaining amount of the
insurance recoveries will be shared equally between SBM Offshore
and Repsol (on behalf of the Yme license) in accordance with the
terms of their Settlement Agreement of March 11, 2013 which
concluded the Yme project.
As a result of this settlement the litigation
against insurers and the associated trial which was due to commence
on October 1, 2018 will be put to an end.
Bruno Chabas, CEO of SBM Offshore, commented:
"Today's settlement of this large insurance
claim related to a project that ended in 2013 allows us to close
this outstanding item from the past and to now fully concentrate on
growing our business in an industry that shows strong signs of
recovery."
