Oslo/ Amsterdam - 28 February 2017. Oceanteam ASA has recorded US$ 11.2 million
revenues from operations and an EBITDA of US$ 2.8 million in the fourth quarter
of 2016. Although faced with a nett loss of US$ 3.1 million in the fourth
quarter of 2016, the Dutch-Norwegian offshore service provider is fully on track
for future growth, says CEO Haico Halbesma who reached an agreement on new terms
with its bondholders after 2016 year ending. As a result, Oceanteam ASA, will
have a significantly improved free cash flow and structural lower interest costs
as from January 1(st) 2017, creating a healthy foundation for further growth.

In the fourth quarter 2016 (hereafter indicated as Q4), the Company's operations
met performance forecasts under very challenging market conditions. The company
also made solid progress in terms of increasing the share of revenues from its
Solutions division, which came in at 40% in Q4 underlining the success of its
market diversification strategy.

For Oceanteam, Q4 was a combination of business as usual and preparing the
company for a future of high performance and returns. "The management and the
teams of our operating companies were very much focused on their day-to-day
market opportunities and challenges. These included securing our vessel charter
rates and current backlog and tendering for new contracts, especially in the
field of equipment and engineering solutions. Additionally, they were exploring
new opportunities in areas such as renewable energy and civil engineering.

In late October 2016, the Executive Board and management initiated proactive and
constructive talks with our bondholders and banks to discuss a new capital
foundation for the company.

Wilhelm Bohn, recently appointed as CFO of Oceanteam ASA, comments: "We expect
to announce the new terms we have since agreed with our bondholders shortly
after the publication of the Q4 press release and Q4 report. We believe the new
agreement reflects the firm belief all the stakeholders involved have in the
future direction and proven track record of our company. Thanks to the agreement
with its bondholders and including the sale of the North Ocean 105 (expected
effective no later than 1 May 2017), Oceanteam ASA has secured the financing it
needs and safeguarded its continuity as a going concern."

Business areas

The current state of the Oil & Gas market is expected to remain challenging for
the coming period, according to the Company.

"However, our early focus on Offshore Renewables, Engineering & Logistic
Solutions, plus our  expansion in certain geographical areas, will help the
company to safely navigate the current market low, as well as  the structural
changes in the Oil & Gas market", comments CEO Halbesma. "We are also in the
process of creating new revenue sources in the field of civil engineering,
offshore-related logistic solutions, while using the same core capabilities that
have made Oceanteam the distinguished niche player it is known as today.

* Oceanteam's subsidiary Diavaz-Oceanteam Shipping (DOT) has come to an
