Support Vessels from DOF Are Gradually Renewing Their Contracts with Petrobras and Confirm Increased Offshore Activities

Gradually, the entire DOF fleet has been having its contracts renewed by Petrobras. Now it was the turn of the AHTS vessel Skandi Fluminense. See Other Contracts That DOF Won in Brazil.
The vessel, built in 2007, is an AHTS 18,000 (anchor handling), operated by DOF Subsea, and the contract extension was announced by Petrobras and Norskan, a Brazilian subsidiary of the Norwegian shipping company DOF.

The contract for the AHTS Skandi Fluminense is now extended until September 2020, since the last contract with Petrobras was signed in September 2018.

Other Contracts Won by DOF

It was not for nothing that DOF Was Awarded by Petrobras on March 29 of This Year as One of Its Best Suppliers in the market in 2018.

In February of This Year, The Vessels Skandi Commander, Skandi Olympia, and Skandi Chieftain Were Awarded a 3-Year Contract from Petrobras Worth US$ 150 Million.

In June, the Skandi Hav vessel owned by DOF had its contract extended once again by Petrobras to provide support for offshore services, completing 10 years of supporting offshore operations.

Also in June of this year, the Skandi Botafogo vessel, of the AHTS class, had its contract renewed for another year.

Confirming the growth in demand for this type of vessel in Brazil due to increased offshore activity, recent studies conducted by the Secretary of Economic Development of Rio de Janeiro, presented during the Nor-Shipping 2019 fair in Oslo, Norway, indicate a very optimistic outlook for the national shipbuilding industry after 5 years of crisis.
The Study Indicates a Need for 270 New Vessels to Support Exploration and Production Activities by 2030.

Other Contracts Won by DOF

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

Goodbye expensive energy? RPA Technology’s solar tilt pole works off-grid, quickly reduces costs, and is becoming a popular choice for cities and farms that want efficient and sustainable lighting.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.

Paraguay surprises with Sipap, its own Pix, which has been growing since 2020, reaches millions of monthly transactions, operates non-stop, and sparks curiosity about the real impact of this change on daily financial life.

Greenland is already losing 30 million tons of ice per hour; scientists see a risk of an irreversible tipping point and warn that sea levels could still rise for centuries even if emissions stop today.

Power cuts in Brazil become a global alert: SPIC CEO states that curtailment harms the country’s image abroad and concerns international investors.
