Prosafe, Floatel to discontinue merger

Baird Maritime

The planned merger between offshore accommodation services providers Floatel International and Prosafe will not proceed upon mutual agreement of the two companies, Keppel Corporation confirmed via a Singapore Exchange filing dated February 13.

Keppel said that both Floatel, an associate company of Keppel Offshore and Marine, and Prosafe were of the view that any near-term completion of a "value enhancing merger" was unlikely.

The two companies had announced earlier in mid-2019 that they would merge and form a 14-vessel accommodation fleet.
