Norwegian offshore vessel owner DOF has won an extension for one of its pipelay support vessels (PLSV) from Petrobras.
DOF said that the extension was awarded to the 2016-built Skandi Buzios. This vessel is currently in the last months of its long-term contract with Petrobras.
Namely, the vessel started work under an eight-year contract with the Brazilian state-owned giant in April 2017.
This latest extension will keep the vessel working for Petrobras from April 2025 to September 2026. The vessel is owned by TechDOF, a joint venture between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea.
The Skandi Buzios was hit by a major fire back in June 2023. After repairs, the vessel arrived in Brazil in early July last year and restarted work on August 1, 2024.
