Aker BP has awarded Eidesvik Offshore ASA ("Eidesvik") a ship management
agreement for two supply vessels in operation on the Norwegian continental shelf
("NCS").

NS Orla and NS Frayja are the vessels that will be operated by Eidesvik. The
contract is firm for three years with options thereafter. 
Both vessels were built in 2014, and in 2019, battery hybrid solutions were
installed on board the vessels. The hybrid solutions have resulted in more fuel
efficient operations, and contribute to more environmental friendly operation of
vessels on the NCS.

"Eidesvik has been awarded the contract in competition with other suppliers, and
we are very pleased with the confidence Aker BP is showing us", says CEO &
President in Eidesvik, Mr. Jan Fredrik Meling. "The award of the ship management
for two modern vessels with hybrid solutions, in addition to our own vessels in
operation, will contribute to a further development of Eidesvik's top competence
and experience of operation of environmental friendly tonnage". The vessels will
be operated from Eidesvik's office at Bømlo.

"The change of ship manager for these vessels is part of a long-term strategy,
where we have chosen our strategic partners for the delivery of supply vessel
services. We have great confidence in Eidesvik and that they will actively work
to optimize the operation of the vessels as part of our common long-term
initiative to redefine the supply chain by increased cost efficiency and
sustainable solutions", says VP for Logistics and Marine in Aker BP, Gunn-Elin
Hellegaard. 

The vessels have NOR flag and employ 56 seamen. The contract will commence
October 1, 2020.
