The 18-Month Extension of the Service Contract for the Brazilian Oil Company Petrobras Confirms Forship’s Excellence

Forship Engenharia celebrates the 18-month extension of its maintenance contract for Petrobras’s drillships. The company has been operating for two years in the maintenance of vessels. This demonstrates strong recognition for the services provided by the team to the state-owned company in this first contract related to drillships. Want to work offshore?

“Although we already have experience in platform maintenance, there were high expectations from the client regarding this contract, mainly due to the complexity of specific equipment found on drillships,” states Marco A. Kronemberger, Operations Director of Grupo Forship.

Marco states that maintenance contracts require daily dedication from Forship employees, as non-operational equipment affects the operational indicators of the platforms. “But our employees have been exceptionally performing tasks ranging from planning and logistics to service execution,” he adds.

Team of Excellence

The executive also highlighted the work both in recruiting experienced professionals and in daily monitoring of results. “This experience has yielded good results for the company, which now has a specialized technical team in planning, control, and execution of maintenance activities in the areas of electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation,” emphasizes the operations director.

For Forship, the project is of great importance, and the extension of the contract with Petrobras has only served to consolidate the expertise of the company in yet another segment, as well as maintaining a qualified team. “Despite tight margins, the company understands it is crucial to retain the team of employees, which requires efforts both in securing contracts and amendments as well as in training and redeployment of personnel.”
