Bidding Open by Petrobras Is for Chartering RSV Vessels That Support Remote Operated Submarine Robot Operations

Petrobras has just announced the opening of a bidding process to charter support vessels for remote operated submarine robot (RSV) operations.
According to the announcement, the bidding is divided into two lots, one with two-year contracts and another with three-year contracts. Petrobras has communicated that companies have until July 10 to submit their proposals.

The vessels will operate carrying out geodesic surveys, inspections, maintenance, repairs, and support for the implementation of new submarine systems with the assistance of ROV for Petrobras.

The announcement also requests that the ships have a dynamic positioning system DP2 and can operate in water depths of up to 3,000 meters.

The Support Vessel Market in Brazil

Currently, nine vessels of this type provide services to Petrobras and other support vessels, such as the Skandi Commander, Skandi Chieftain, and Skandi Olympia.

Proving the positive phase of chartering support vessels, on June 7, the Skandi Hav vessel owned by DOF had its contract extended once again by Petrobras.
The announcement of the contract extension for an additional year is effective from this month.

According to Abeam (Brazilian Association of Maritime Support Companies), the other eight RSVs operating in the country in March were Joe Griffin and Wildebeest from the Edison Chouest group; CBO Campos, CBO Guanabara, CBO Isabella, and CBO Manoella from Companhia Brasileira de Offshore; Far Saga (SolstadFarstad); Fugro Aquarius (Fugro); and Sealion Amazônia and Toisa Valiant (Sealion).
