Solstad Offshore Closes Partnership with Ocyan for Vessel Use to Offer Services to the Subsea Construction Market

Rio de Janeiro, July 15, 2022 – Ocyan has just signed a contract with Solstad Offshore for the charter of a subsea construction vessel (Construction Support Vessel) “Normand Cutter”. The purpose is to enable Ocyan to participate in various projects in the segment, with the first being the decommissioning contract for the subsea systems of 3 FPSOs, recently won from Petrobras by the company in the first half of this year.

“Having this vessel in our fleet opens up a window of opportunities for new subsea construction contracts. From now on, we can pursue new projects that require the vessel as a work tool, and other clients may seek us out for various services in the construction activity,” celebrates Rafael Guigon, Director of Subsea Construction Contracts at Ocyan.

According to the executive, adaptations will be necessary for this vessel. Some of them will be carried out in Brazil, such as the commissioning of the storage system; and others abroad, such as the installation of the flexible pipe handling and launching system. “The vessel will be available to begin executing the decommissioning contract, won by Ocyan, between December of this year and January 2023, adhering to the original contract schedule. After this mobilization phase, the vessel will be ready to execute projects for the handling and launching of flexible pipes in Brazil,” he emphasizes.
