A similar procedure was announced when the company won Petrobras’ tender for the flotel Safe Notos, which was subsequently firmed up.
A four-year firm contract, if awarded, will commence in the first or second quarter of 2023, following on from the expiry of the vessel’s current charter. Prosafe, which owns and operates six accommodation vessels and one tender support vessel that can also operate as a flotel, said the contract is worth approximately $126m.
