TrackLink USBL Tracking System Breaks $15,000 Cost Barrier
LinkQuest recently released the TrackLink 1500LC USBL tracking system. The basic system, including the transceiver, a transponder and the tracking software, breaks the $15,000 price barrier.

Capitalizing on its benchmark Acoustic Broadband Spread Spectrum technology, LinkQuest rolls out this highly robust system with superior rejection to ship noise and multipaths. This low cost system has a positioning accuracy of 3 degrees.

The working range is up to 1500 meters under typical ship noise conditions. The TrackLink system also includes integrated communication functions which share the same hardware and transducer with the USBL tracking system.

This unique feature significantly reduces the total system size, weight and power consumption. It also eliminates acoustic interference that typically exists between acoustic communication and positioning systems. It makes the TrackLink system the only integrated acoustic tracking and high speed communication system in the industry.

GulfMark Offshore Announces New Charter To Thales GeoSolutions Group, Ltd.
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2002--GulfMark Offshore Inc. (Nasdaq:GMRK) today announced that Thales GeoSolutions Group, Ltd. agreed to a three-year charter, plus options, for one of the Company's new construction platform supply vessels. The "Highland Navigator," a UT-745 design with DP-II, is slated for delivery early in March, 2002 and will commence the charter immediately thereafter.

Commenting on the charter, Mr. Bruce Streeter, president & COO of GulfMark, said, "We are excited to add the term charter of the 'Highland Navigator' to the previously announced term charters for the newbuild vessels the 'Highland Fortress' and the 'North Mariner.' These three vessels and their corresponding contracts demonstrate the efficacy of the newbuild program launched in the Fall of 2000 as we continue to expand our fleet with high specification vessels."

Mr. Streeter also announced that the Company had secured a number of contracts and/or extensions that have helped to escalate the forward contract cover for both 2002 and 2003 to the highest level in the history of GulfMark. Citing the continued strength of the North Sea term market, he said, "The Company has secured a one year extension on the 'Stout Truck,' a seven month charter plus a six month option for the 'North Crusader' and a six month option exercise for the 'North Vanguard,' all of which pushes our firm North Sea contract cover to approximately 75% for 2002. In addition, the one-year option was exercised on the 'Monarch Bay' in Equatorial Guinea, a one-year extension on the 'Highland Scout' was negotiated in Brazil and a firm six month charter plus options for up to six months has been agreed to on the 'Highland Guide' in Southeast Asia. Each of these contracts or extensions give added visibility to our profitability in 2002 and bode well for estimates for 2003."

Commenting on the results for 2001, Mr. Streeter indicated that he was comfortable with the First Call consensus of $0.76 for the 4th quarter of 2001 and $2.63 for the full year 2001. He concluded his remarks by saying, "We look forward to discussing the results from 2001 and the outlook for 2002 when we hold our conference call on the afternoon of Feb. 26, 2002. Details of the call will be available on our new Web site, www.gulfmark.com, in addition to the normal press release. We hope you will visit the new GulfMark Web site at your earliest convenience to learn more about the Company and our world class fleet."
