Petrobras hit the market once again with more simultaneous tenders to charter OSVs to their fleet. Three new opportunities for PSVs, AHTS and OSRVs are out, this time with a twist. Not only the Petrobras disclosed the number of vessels they intend to hire from each tender (up to 20 PSVs, 12 OSRVs and 1 AHTS), but for the first time in a couple of years they also revealed their infamous “indicative budget” within tender documents, which is the basis for every hiring negotiation they go through. The daily rates Petrobras is expecting to receive in such opportunities are around USD 31k for OSRVs, USD 48k
for the AHTS and ranging from USD 26k to USD 44K depending on the size and scope of work, for PSVs. Petrobras will qualify offers based on the most competitive price disregarding anything above these thresholds. Delivery for all vessels is expected to take place between February and May 2024 and
the deadline to submit offers is October 10, subject to changes. Brazilian or REB vessels
as well as foreign flagged candidates will be considered for all oportunities.
