Petrobras Releases Commercial Ranking for Eight Newbuild RSV Tender
Petrobras has published the long-awaited commercial ranking for its tender to charter up to eight newbuild RSVs. As a preliminary result, four slots have been awarded to Bram and four to DOF (LOT L). The process, which began in October, is divided into 12 lots, with contracts spanning up to 12 years, including four to five years allocated for vessel construction.
Navship has emerged as a significant player, participating in every lot, sometimes as the sole bidder. Notably, DOF will also utilize Navship’s facilities, alongside its in-house operator, Bram.
The Total Cost Per Vessel (TCV) covers vessel charter, ROV services, fuel consumption, and PEOTRAM bonuses, as stipulated in regulatory guidelines. TCV rates range from $124,980.80 to $145,314.43 per vessel, depending on the lot.
Petrobras will prioritize contract awards that minimize overall expenditure across all lots, aiming to secure the most cost-effective combination for the number of vessels it plans to charter.
