Two More Support Vessels for Offshore Activities Have Renewed Contracts. It Was Norwegian Solstad’s Turn to Sign the Renewal with Petrobras
Confirming the resumption (although gradual) of offshore activities, Petrobras announced the renewal of two more support vessels. The ships belong to the Norwegian company Solstad Offshore and will have their contracts renewed until the third quarter of 2020.
Petrobras has been gradually renewing its entire DOF fleet, see here the article on the renewal of the AHTS Skandi Fluminense vessel.
The vessels that had their contracts extended and will continue to provide services to Petrobras are the “Far Santana”, of the AHTS type (Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel), which is equipped with the Fugro Work Class ROV and can operate up to 3,000 meters deep.
