Fugro, in partnership with Solstad and Oceanpact, secured three long-term contracts with Petrobras to provide remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services for a variety of underwater activities in Brazil. All three contracts are for firm periods of three years with additional one-year options.

Fugro will provide a total of five work-class ROVs for these contracts, each equipped with research tools and spreads that are operational in water depths of up to 3,000 meters.

An ROV spread will be installed on the Solstad AHTS Far Statesman to conduct anchor handling and other underwater support activities.

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.”
