    Hi Suzan.

    Thanks re reply.

    It certainly seems asset impairment on the boats will be required given the yield from utilisation and decrease in rates. Gulfmarks utilisation overall (between marketed and stacked boats) is running at 38 percent and day rates are down around 10 percent from the December quarter. They predict at the end of the year they will see ultilisation a bit higher but day rates actually lower!

    Additionally from Gulfmark the re sale value of boats is very low. The market for new high spec boats is basically non existent. What is selling is older 15 to 20 year boats. They are selling at typically 25 percent (upper range 40 percent, but most closer to 25 percent) of book value and are going to India and smaller Middle East based companies. Gulfmark cited examples of boats valued (book value) around $9m selling for around $2 to $3m.

    For MMA this must mean an impairment is soon to come I believe. Hopefully their bank covenants are not triggered by the impairments. Optimistically I'd hope when late least year when MMA re negotiationed the covenants they saw this coming.

    Given the appetite from share holders to participate in a capital raising I would imagine is low, I'd hope that MMA consider the sale of the supply base as first option to use to pay down the debt.
