After Subsea7, DOF’s large subsea construction vessel on charter with Petrobras

(offshore-energy.biz) A flexible, large subsea construction vessel owned by Norwegian DOF Group has been contracted on a four-year term charter with Brazil’s oil & gas company Petrobras.

Under the contract valued at approximately $165 million, Skandi Salvador will operate with two work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and a subsea crane, with delivery expected in December.

The award is part of the same competitive tender process that resulted in the previously announced contract awards of Skandi Achiever, Skandi Carla and Geoholm.

The 106-meter-long Skandi Salvador was built in 2009 and can accommodate 100 people. The vessel previously worked with Subsea7, supporting subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) projects offshore Brazil.
