DOF has announced several new contract awards with Petrobras and a 1st Tier EPCI-SURF Contractor in Brazil. The AHTS Skandi Jupiter and Skandi Mercury, managed by DOF, have been contracted by Petrobras to operate as AHTS 230t BP. This follows a competitive tender process that previously secured contracts for Skandi Amazonas, Skandi Rio, and Skandi Botafogo.
Currently operating in the North Sea, Skandi Jupiter and Skandi Mercury will be mobilized to Brazil after modifications to meet Petrobras requirements. Both contracts are for three years, with options, and are set to start by the second or third quarter of 2025, subject to mutual agreement.

This contract begins immediately, with Geoholm covering until Skandi Salvador completes its current Petrobras commitment at Libra in early August.
