Belov Arembepe contracted by Petrobras

Belov Engenharia has signed a contract with Petrobras for the chartering of the SDSV Belov Arembepe, which will operate for the oil company for a period of four years. The agreement includes PPU-based remuneration components denominated in Brazilian reais and U.S. dollars, with a total contractual value (Service plus hire) of approximately R$ 680 million over the term.

Construction of the Belov Arembepe began in February 2026 and is expected to last approximately 18 months, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2027, when Petrobras is DUE to commence operations with the vessel.

The Belov Arembepe will be the fourth SDSV in Belov’s fleet and the third vessel to be built at the group’s shipyard in Bahia. The project has been granted R$115 million in financing from the Fundo da Marinha Mercante (FMM).

“The Belov Arembepe will incorporate the proven design of previous vessels, with operational upgrades implemented based on lessons learned in recent offshore campaigns,” said Juracy Vilas-Bôas, Director at Belov Engenharia, in an interview for the upcoming edition of One Energy magazine.
