"Outlooks
During the 3rd quarter of 2008 the market for offshore services continued to strengthen. Globally, the balance between supply and demand for offshore drilling units continued to be tight in all floater segments. The demand for offshore drilling services is expected to continue, however the financial turmoil and falling oilprice might lead to revised oilprice budgets and delays of projects by the oil companies."
