Last Monday, Petrobras received firm offers for Shallow Diving Support Vessels (SDSVs) in the public tender nº 7004114860. The tender sought to hire diving vessels with and without ROV, in two different mobilization windows, March 2024 and March 2025. Most of the offers presented were aiming at the earliest mobilization, and equipped onboard with a ROV, which was also Petrobras’ hiring priority. Only 4 Owners participated in the tender, presenting in total 7 vessels all Brazilian or REB flag, with the first 3 spots of the main hiring priority going to Oceanica which proposed three vessels from abroad, with diving and ROV systems at just below USD 70.000/d.
