Weakened Odim Margin

  29/07/2009
Odim has issued a warning that its margin weakened during the second quarter. After a preliminary review of figures for the period, sales look likely to total NOK565 million while EBITDA will be NOK51 million. That corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9%.
 

 

The weakening in the margin can primarily be attributed to the following factors:

  • a negative trend for a couple of major subsea projects
  • high-margin contracts in the seismic survey sector were a smaller share of sales than in previous quarters
  • increased resources devoted to sales work without a corresponding order intake during the quarter
  • more time taken and higher costs related to the introduction of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in the group
  • weak progress in the naval part of the Naval & Power business area.

 

Odim also maintained a strong focus on product development during the period, which is expected to make the group less dependent on the seismic market over time.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
