Norway-headquartered Prosafe has won a contract extension for one of its semi-submersible ASVs. The company signed the contract extension with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) for the provision of the Safe Zephyrus semi-submersible vessel for safety and maintenance support offshore Brazil.
The original 650-day firm period was due to complete in February 2025, but has been extended by 954 days, according to Prosafe, an owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation, safety and support vessels (ASVs) and of one tender support vessel (TSV) that can also operate as an accommodation vessel.
The extension will keep the Safe Zephyrus in operations into September 2027 with an increase in the fuel allowance from 20m3 to 25m3 per day through the extension.
As Prosafe reports, the total value of the deal is around $109.7m.
Built in 2016, the Safe Zephyrus is a DP3 semi-submersible ASV, with beds for 450 persons, in single man cabins.
Terje Askvig, CEO of Prosafe, said: “The Safe Zephyrus has been performing extremely well for Petrobras, serving its role supporting safety and maintenance within the important Buzios business unit offshore Brazil.
“This significant extension emphasises the continued and increasing demand for high specification units in the region where Prosafe is well placed to increase its market share.”
