HitecVision acquires Reef Subsea
HitecVision has acquired the remaining shares in Reef Subsea, a Bergen-based subsea services company.
HitecVision led the buyout of Reef Subsea in February 2010, along with Bergen-based GC Rieber Shipping, for NOK 195m. This latest transaction sees HitecVision purchasing GC Rieber's shares, giving the oil & gas-focused investor full ownership of the comapny.
The deal was financed via seller's credit and a management cash investment.
Following the deal, HitecVision will support the company's restructure and develop Reef's dredging and excavation and integrated projects activities. The ownership change will not alter any of Reef Subsea's contracts or the charter commitments it holds for the Polar King and Polar Prince vessels from GC Rieber Shipping.
