Norwegian offshore vessel owner DOF has won new contracts for two of its anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels.
Petrobras awarded long-term charter and service contracts to the company after a competitive tender issued in late 2023. The two contracts will generate over $192m in revenue.
DOF’s Norskan Offshore unit won a deal for the 2011-built anchor handler Skandi Amazonas. The contract is for three years with additional years as extension options. The vessel is being adapted to the Petrobras contract with expectations for delivery between mid-May and mid-June 2024.
Petrobras also awarded DOF’s subsidiary, DOF Subsea Servicos Brasil, a deal for the Skandi Rio AHTS. The vessel, equipped with DOF Subsea’s work-class ROV, is currently operating for the Brazilian giant.
This new deal is for four more years and one optional year. The contract will start within the fourth quarter of 2024 in direct continuation of the current contract.
“Building backlog into 2028 at today’s strong market rates is positive and we look forward to continue delivering Petrobras quality services,” said Mons S. Aase, CEO of DOF Group.
