3 Q3 2007 –Highlights Consolidated revenues of USD 20.3 million, an increase of 101 % compared to Q3 2006. EBITDA of USD 3.7 million, compared to USD 4.0 million for Q3 2006. Performance for the quarter negatively affected by the previously communicated low vessel utilization of the Geo Mariner and Osprey Explorer. Furthermore, we realized a loss on sale of the Raven Explorer of around USD 1 million. Aquila Explorer, Munin Explorer and Harrier Explorer commenced operation in the period ultimo June to primo September, bringing total vessels in operation to eight by the end of the quarter. SeaBird will be able to take full benefit of the strong market in 2008 with eight vessels operational from Q4 2007 and limited exposure to uncertainty related to conversions and vessel delivery.

Health Safety Security Environment & Quality (HSSEQ) Rapid growth and good HSSEQ standards are demanding HSSEQ statistics for Q3 were not satisfactory, but well within acceptable levels for the industry Actions have been taken to get back on track HSSEQ organization has been strengthened in operations Mr Dag Grepperud is appointed new corporate VP HSSEQ

5 Market outlook 2008 appears to be even stronger than 2007 Significant backlog for 2009 starting to build in some areas Continued high activity in the Wide Azimuth market keeps the pressure up on high end 2D and source vessels SeaBird has taken two vessels out of the source vessel market and into the long offset 2D market Industry consolidation does not solve capacity shortage problems The market is very dynamic with cooperation and consolidation high on the agenda.

6 When will there be an oversupply? Source vessels There are 2 fully fledged source vessels under preparation. Total fleet is expected to be 11 by the end of 2007, -this far from covers market demand. 2D Seismic vessels There are 3 2D vessels under preparation, of which one will be delivered in 2007. Total fleet at the end of 2007 is estimated to 41 vessels. Some 2D vessels are suited as source vessels, and are able to move into the source market. 3D Seismic vessels There are 9 vessels announced for delivery in 2007 and 16 vessels planned for delivery in 2008. Significant delays are expected on a number of these, but the total fleet is expected to reach 74 vessels sometime in 2008/2009. We continue to see no sign of saturation of the market in 2009.

7 Vessel conversions in current market is a challenge Resource constraints in all areas Yard capacity Engineering capacity Steel deliveries Lead time seismic equipment Lead time on maritime equipment Project management resources and quality Will not be easier to add more capacity to the market quickly Conversion cost has increased significantly over the last 18-24 months Delays are unfortunate and unacceptable But seem to become more a rule rather than an exception

A bit of growing pains.. Critical mass – Less impact on earnings with lower utilization of one vessel with 8 (9) vessel fleet Less exposure to the short term market – Still pursuing oil company work, but focus on longer contracts/larger programs Investor Relations – Better visibility through reporting vessel utilization at the end of each quarter Marketing/business development – Strengthened significantly – Singapore marketing/representation office established Accounting/Reporting/Finance – New key finance personnel – E&Y task force
21
Outlook Strong demand within all segments of the seismic industry with a significant part of capacity already contracted 2D rates now exceeding the source-vessel market and ”stealing” capacity New advanced 3D vessels are entering the market, -some of which are targeting WAZ surveys and will need source vessels Hugin Explorer with 500 new deep water nodes ready from Q2 08 We expect significant growth in revenues and earnings in the last quarter of 2007: Revenues expected to be in the range of USD 95-100 million for the the year EBITDA expected to be in the range of USD 30-33 million for the year Total CAPEX expected to be in the range of USD 125-130 million for the year 21
