Shippingtelegraph: DOF seals long-term RSV charters with Petrobas worth + $275m

The Norwegian-headquartered offshore vessel provider DOF Group ASA (DOF) has signed two new long-term RSV contracts in Brazil.

DOF states that the 2001-built medium-sized subsea construction vessel Skandi Carla and the 2006-built purpose built, multipurpose vessel Geoholm have been contracted on 4-year charters with Petrobras.

“Following the same competitive tender process that resulted in the previously announced contract award of Skandi Achiever on a 4-year charter as RSV, Skandi Carla and Geoholm have also been contracted on 4-year charters with Petrobras,” the shipowner said in a statement.

Skandi Carla will operate with one work class ROV and subsea crane, while Geoholm will utilize its subsea crane and two work class ROVs on board.

As it is reported, the two contracts have a combined value of more than $275m. Both vessels are expected to commence their contracts in December 2025.
