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.

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).

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Brazilian producers are leaving Roraima to plant in Guyana, where the government offers land on concession and does not charge taxes, while in Brazil the harvest faces high interest rates and a bureaucracy that hinders even the use of the rivers.

Instead of digging new holes, scientists dive into an abandoned acid mine lake in Montana and discover that the toxic water has already done the work of extracting rare earths from the rock on its own.
