AHTS tender: an update

By Alexandre Vilela

Petrobras closed the AHTS tender, with plans to hire up to 7 AHTSs and one OTSV. The amplitude on rates is worth noting.

TS: Asgaard with AHTSs offered at USD 31k, for comparison below the last OSRV average rates.

Asso Marítima Navegação Ltda (Augusta Offshore S.p.A.) just below USD 40k, with Solstad Offshore ASA and GRUPO CBO – Companhia Brasileira de Offshore in the mid-40s set the marketplace trend for now. CBO offered their largest AHTSs, out-priced for this category.

TO/OTSV: CBO and OceanPact Serviços Marítimos rates are not far apart for similar-sized AHTSs, mid to high USD 60’s. However, compared to the TS rates, they are nearly double and not far from the OTSV rate at USD 78k for a much more complex unit.
