Brazilian state-owned oil and gas giant Petrobras has launched a tender for up to six platform supply vessels.
Rio de Janeiro-based offshore brokerage WSB Advisors stated that the tender, launched on Thursday, was under an SEP format, which traditionally has limited public disclosure.
All vessels will be used to support the company’s hydrocarbon exploration and production activities.
Petrobras will choose the vessel based on the lowest total price of the offer. Applicants can submit offers until May 6. The contract duration is 1,460 days.
The contracting structure is spread into two lots. The first lot is for up to four general cargo PSVs, while the second one is for up to two multipurpose or fluid PSVs.
The start of operations is estimated to occur in January 2026 or 180 days after contract signing, whichever occurs later.
