The Brazilian Oil Company Petrobras Will Hire Prosafe’s Accommodation Unit, the Safe Eurus.

Under the agreement signed with Prosafe, Petrobras will charter the semi-submersible vessel Safe Eurus for offshore safety and maintenance support in Brazil. The contract is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a firm commitment of three years. This will be the first job for the Safe Eurus. The total contract value is approximately US$ 80 million.

Built by COSCO in China, the Safe Eurus will be the third Prosafe vessel under a license in Brazil, with the sister ship Safe Notos also chartered to Petrobras, and the Safe Concordia with the Japanese MODEC.
The Safe Eurus, a dynamic positioning (DP3) semi-submersible safety and maintenance support vessel, can accommodate up to 500 people.
Jesper Kragh Andresen, CEO of Prosafe, says: “Prosafe is proud to secure this contract to continue the strong partnership with Petrobras built over 8 years of Brazilian operations.”

Petrobras Also Signed a 5-Year Contract with OSS Tiradentes

In an official statement from OSS International on April 23, Petrobras will keep the accommodation unit operating in Brazilian waters until 2024 and will start fulfilling this contract in the third quarter of 2019.

The OOS Tiradentes is a self-propelled unit equipped with electric cranes with a capacity of up to 2x 60T and accommodation for 600 people on board designed for maintenance and installation operations in oceans worldwide such as Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico. Learn more here.
