Seabird Exploration has received a notice of extension of the «Petrel Explorer» time charter party. The charter period is now firm until 31 May 2020.

Furthermore, the Company has received indicative bid interest from a prospective buyer of the vessel. Given the positive market backdrop, the Company`s preferred strategy for the vessel is to maintain exposure through the current charter party. However, pending further extensions, the Company may seek a new owner for the vessel.
