Oslo-listed SeaBird Exploration aims to boost its fleet of seismic vessels as market conditions improve.

The contractor has unveiled plans to acquire the Boa Galatea and Boa Thalassa vessels for Nkr185 million ($21.6 million) from Boa Offshore and has secured approval from a majority of bondholders in parent company Boa SBL.

However, “no binding decisions” have been made regarding a capacity expansion, with SeaBird still evaluating alternatives.
