The figures exclude fleet personnel hired through crewing agencies as well as other agency and freelance staff for whom expenses are included within other employee benefits. The increase in headcount is primary due to the further ramp-up of the activity on Turnkey projects since the Company has five FPSO’s under construction and FEED activities on the FPSO for the Yellowtail development project.
