Petrobras hires two semi-submersible platforms for pre-salt maintenance and support

The offshore accommodation platforms will be used for maintenance and accommodation support for Petrobras platforms and floating production storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessels in Brazilian pre-salt waters for approximately 3 years.
