Via Arctic Offshore: «Petrobras with record OSV demand
Petrobras held today a live event where the company updated the market on its demand going into 2024 for offshore support vessels for their logistics operations, i.e., not including their subsea division.
The company currently has 156 OSVs chartered within the logistics division, the majority being PSVs, followed by OSRVs and AHTS.
Up to seven different tenders divided between PSVs, OSRVs and AHTS are expected for 2024, with mobilization varying between February 2024 and January 2025.
Contract firm period of 4 years, with 60- and 120-day mobilization for both Brazilian and REB-flagged vessels, is also the base case for the upcoming bids.
Lastly, Petrobras informed owners that they will be more flexible in the delivery times of new equipment, suggesting that Owners have up to 12 months after signing the contract to mobilize critical items.»
