Norway’s Siem Offshore and Malysia’s Daya Materials will extend the deadline for termination of the Memorandum of Agreement for the sale of two Offshore Subsea Construction Vessels (OSCVs) till April 24, 2015.

Daya has paid a deposit of $1.4 million in aggregate on the vessels and has been given until mid-April to arrange for financing and pay the remainder of the deposit on the two vessels.

Both vessels are on long-term charters to Daya and the charter agreements will continue until deliveries are concluded.
