Petrobras and Fugro Close Deal for Chartering Support Vessel, Company Has 13 Contracts Active in Brazil

Fugro has just closed another contract in Brazil with Petrobras, this time for an additional support vessel (RSV) for remote-operated vehicle (ROV) operations.
The contract will last three years and until now, the Dutch Fugro only had one vessel of this type operating in Brazilian waters, the Fugro Aquarius, which has been under contract with the Brazilian state-owned company since 2017 until May of this year.

According to data from March from Abeam (Brazilian Association of Maritime Support Companies), twelve ROVs are operating in Brazil, representing 3% of the local fleet of 368 support vessels.

The other eleven RSVs in operation in Brazil are: four owned by Companhia Brasileira de Offshore (CBOs Campos, Guanabara, Isabella, and Manoella); two from the Edison Chouest group (Joe Griffin and Wildebeest); two from DOF-Norskan (Skandi Chieftan and Skandi Commandor); one from Farstad Shipping (Far Saga); and two from Sealion (Sealion Amazonia and Toisa Valiant).

Petrobras’s Relationship with Fugro

The companies have a good relationship, and proof of this is the thirteen contracts they both keep active, involving chartering services, service provision, and geological data acquisition for over 20 years.

With the increase in offshore activity, the demand from Petrobras for support vessels is growing, and the number of tenders is increasing as well. On the last eighteenth day (04/18), Petrobras began receiving proposals for the chartering of a diving support vessel (DSV).
The deadline for submitting proposals is short (less than 30 days) and ends on the next eighth of May. Access here and stay informed about support vessel contracts in Brazil!
