01:44 AM EDT, 07/29/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Paratus Energy Services (PLSV.OL) finalized the divestment of its Fontis unit's drilling operations and jack-up fleet after it fulfilled all requisite requirements. The energy services-focused investment holding company said Wednesday that it received about $163 million in cash consideration, a $237 million interest-bearing seller credit with a 2.5-year term, and a separate $20 million reimbursement for interim funding provided to Fontis' Mexican operations. Pararus added that the transaction supports its plan to become a pure-play pipe-laying support vessel, or PLSV, company.
