Japanese Contractor Leads Bid to Provide Petrobras with a Pair of FPSOs, Alongside Teekay Offshore and Yinson Holdings for Marlim I and Marlim II

The Japanese contractor Modec is expected to emerge as the leading bidder in a Petrobras tender for a pair of medium-sized floating production, storage, and offloading vessels to operate in the Marlim field in Brazil. Sources reported that Modec submitted bids for Marlim I and Marlim II individually and as a combined package for both FPSOs, at what sources described as a more competitive price.

Canadian Teekay Offshore and Malaysia’s Yinson Holdings also participated in the bidding, but unlike Modec, each float design specialist submitted proposals for the two FPSOs separately.

Industry sources said that Petrobras’s bidding committee is expected to review the technical aspects of all bids in the coming weeks, with commercial pricing expected to be opened at the end of February or early March.
