Built in 2007, with an impressive 138 meters LOA, the then Maersk Involver was born under the Danish offshore tradition. A blue hull, robust lines, and a clear purpose: to deliver capacity where conventional logistics cannot reach.
But the sea changes. And so do assets.
On November 1st, 2024, following the completion of the acquisition of Maersk Supply Service by DOF Group ASA, the fleet underwent a visible transformation.
Names changed.
Colors changed.The soft Danish blue gave way to the distinctive Norwegian red.
Maersk Involver became Skandi Involver.
Today, the vessel operates in Brazilian waters under contract with Petrobras, supporting subsea inspection activities. Her recent presence has been associated with the FPSO Sepetiba, operated by SBM Offshore — in Mero Field, one of Brazil’s key production hubs.
But her story did not begin here.
Before Brazil, she had already taken part in subsea campaigns offshore Angola.
In the North Sea, she operated as a walk-to-work vessel in Denmark.
She has worked in environments where logistics does not tolerate improvisation.
Classified as an MPSV, Skandi Involver occupies a hybrid space in the market. In a country where distance, water depth, and production scale put constant pressure on the logistics chain, onboard capacity stops being a differentiator — it becomes a strategic tool.
Some vessels adapt to survive.
Others seem to have been designed for constant adaptation.
And then comes the detail that disrupts the narrative.
After the acquisition, the rule appeared clear: new name, new visual identity.
Yet recent records show something intriguing.
👉 Why does she still appear blue?
A transitional delay? Or simply time — which in offshore operations is rarely linear?
In the end, Skandi Involver continues her course — discreet, stable, operational.
Too large to be ordinary.
Too specialized to be circumstantial.
Every Thursday, a new “Por onde anda?”
Stay tuned.
