DOF wins $150m ROV support vessel contract in Brazil
The Oslo-listed company said the award follows the same competitive
tender process that earlier delivered six four-year RSV contracts.
The latest contract is set to start in January 2027
and carries an estimated value of around $150m.
A notable feature of the deal is the scope of work
for Skandi Commander, which will deploy an autonomous
underwater vehicle alongside its remotely operated vehicle. DOF said the
combination broadens the vessel’s role in subsea inspection and intervention
work.
The award adds further weight to DOF’s growing
backlog in Brazil, where the company has been steadily locking in long-term
employment across its offshore fleet.
Chief executive Mons Aase said DOF has added more
than $2bn to its backlog in Brazil this year through a series of AHTS, RSV and
PIDF tenders.
“This year marks 25 years of DOF operating in Brazil,” Aase said. “We
now have a strong platform for value creation, with a large share of our fleet
fixed on firm contracts that extend beyond 2030.
