This vessel was the first line launcher built in Brazil in 2010 at the STX shipyard. Its main operational equipment includes 2 ROVs and has the capacity to launch lines horizontally and vertically, in addition to a crane that can handle up to 250 tons of individual load.

Do you remember the case of the sailor Francisco das Chagas Oliveira da Silva, who fell from a Bravante vessel that provides services for Petrobras? Well, he has not been found to this day. There’s no need to say this, but it’s worth reminding that the offshore environment is one of the most dangerous and unhealthy places to work, so remember your responsibilities and don’t forget that there are people who love you waiting and counting on you on land.
