Ramform – The Success Continues

At the heart of our world class efficiency as a seismic company, lies the
Ramform vessel design, the most innovative and recognizable seismic vessel
in the world.

Our six Ramform seismic vessels hold virtually every streamer towing record on Earth, routinely towing 12 streamers at 37.5 to 100.0 meter separation. The Ramform vessels can deploy and retrieve streamers faster than any other vessel, making them more efficient and productive than other seismic vessels.

But the good operational track record experienced by our seismic vessels is not only due to the Ramform vessels in itself, but also a result of the experienced and dedicated crews we have aboard all our seismic vessels.

Our Ramform seismic vessels have demonstrated unmatched towing capabilities, efficiencies and flexibility, along with industry-leading HSE performance.

We are currently building our seventh and eighth Ramform vessels. The vessels are based on the proven design of the previous six, but with increased speed and towing capability. Ramform 7, named Ramform Sovereign, is expected to be delivered in first quarter 2008 and is expected to be the most productive vessel in the industry. It will, in addition, enhance our leading position in advanced seismic, such as HD3D®, wide- and multi-azimuth.

The first Ramform vessel was delivered to us in 1995. After eleven years in operation, it is still one of the most advanced seismic vessels in the global fleet.
