The Norwegian-headquartered offshore and subsea vessel provider DOF Group ASA (DOF) has announced a new long-term remotely operated vehicle support vessel (RSV) contract in Brazil.
Following the same competitive tender process that resulted in six 4-year RSV -previously announced- contract awards, DOF now announced the signing of a 4-year contract with Petrobras for the RSV Skandi Commander.
DOF mentions that the Skandi Commander’s contract features an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to be utilised as part of the vessel’s duties in addition to the remote operated vehicle (ROV).
The expected commencement of the contract is in January 2027, with the value of the contract being around $150m.
“I am proud of our achievements in Brazil this year, adding in excess of USD 2 billion to our backlog from the AHTS, RSV and PIDF tenders. We celebrate a milestone with 25 years of DOF in Brazil this year, and we now have a strong foundation for continued value creation in the years to come with a large portion of our fleet in Brazil on firm contracts that go beyond 2030,” says Mons Aase, CEO of DOF Group ASA.
