Seabird sets Raven Explorer free



By Upstream staff 

Seabird Exploration has sold the Raven Explorer, which it had planned to convert into a specialised shallow water survey vessel, for $17 million.

The company said in a statement that its modeling work had not established the vessel's suitability as a state-of-the-art seismic vessel. Seabird said it would deliver the vessel to its unnamed new owners next month.

Seabird had originally planned to equip the Raven Explorer as a four-streamer 2D/3D vessel. In May the company handed Norway’s Odim a 45 million contract for seismic handling systems for the Raven and another vessel.
