Dockwise was offloaded to the Oslo Stock Exchange by the British private equity group 3i and crude carrier Frontline in 2007. Like most public companies that have recently been in the hands of private equity Dockwise is loaded with debt. All the cash that the company generates is used to pay interest and reduce debt and there are currently no earnings to report.
With the increase in offshore oil exploration and production in the recent years and in the future the transportation of drilling vessels, production installations and large components will grow significantly. The risks of this business are very real and significant, example one and two.
In the end of September the company had a order backlog $412 million including contracts that will be executed in 2014. Great majority of the heavy transport contract are completed months or years prior to the actual transportation, which should provide visibility into the development of Dockwise's business.
