The Offshore Accommodation Specialist Prosafe Has Won a Contract for Its Flotel Safe Concordia With Equinor in Brazil.

According to the contract with Equinor, the Safe Concordia, built in 2005, will provide connected operations to support maintenance and safety services on the FPSO Peregrino, in the Campos Basin, off the coast of Brazil.

Prosafe stated that the signing of the contract was subject to certain conditions. The contract will have a duration of 120 days starting from mid-January 2020, with up to 60 days of extension options.
The Safe Concordia, Prosafe says, was a pioneer in connecting a gangway to a tower-moored FPSO, having developed the concept in 2012. The platform, supplied by Keppel, can accommodate 461 people. Previously, it was under a 200-day contract with the Japanese Modec in Brazil.

It is worth noting that Prosafe is preparing to Create the Largest Offshore Accommodation Company in the World Through a Merger With Floatel, Proposed in June 2019.

If all conditions are met, including approvals from competition authorities in Norway and the United Kingdom, necessary consents from its creditors, and shareholder approvals, the transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019.

The merger will create the largest offshore accommodation company in the world, with Prosafe currently owning and operating a total of nine offshore accommodation units, each with a capacity of 300 to 500 beds, and has options for the delivery of two new builds in the next five years. Floatel’s fleet includes five units, each with a capacity of 440-550 beds.
