Norwegian offshore vessel owner and operator DOF has won a long-term charter contract from Brazil’s Petrobras for one of its anchor handling tug supply vessels.
The 2010-built Skandi Ipanema, owned by DOF’s Norskan Offshore unit, has been fixed for four years with Petrobras holding an additional one-year option.
The contract should start in the third quarter this year and bring in around $51m to DOF.
Norskan Offshore has nine anchor handlers in Brazil as part of DOF’s fleet of nearly 60 offshore vessels.
