The remaining ROV spreads will be deployed in pairs on two vessels operated by Oceanpact to perform inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) services.
Led by a local team of highly qualified personnel, all ROV services will be available to Petrobras 24 hours a day to maximize workload capacity and ensure operational efficiency.
“These new contracts will nearly double Fugro’s IRM capacity in Brazil, helping us capture the increasing demand for these services from Petrobras,” said Rogerio Carvalho, national manager of Fugro in Brazil. “The mobilization plans associated with our partner vessels will be challenging amid the concerns raised by the Covid-19 pandemic, but with proven protocols in place, we expect to confirm Fugro’s leadership position as a provider of ROV services in the region.”
