  • Brava Vessels – AHTS docking schedule

    Brava Vessels – AHTS docking schedule

    Recent movements involving AHTS vessels serving Brava Energia are linked to separate docking and replacement arrangements within the company’s offshore support fleet.

    One Energy News understands that Navvik Topper was mobilized to cover Bushbuck while the Bram Offshore vessel underwent docking and corrective maintenance.

    With Normand Turmalina now entering scheduled dry docking, Navvik Topper is also understood to be among the main options to provide temporary coverage during the maintenance period.

    Bushbuck’s maintenance included corrective work on one of its main engines. The available information points to maintenance activity, not an operational incident.

    Normand Turmalina remains under firm charter with Brava until early 2029 and is expected to return after completing its routine docking programme.

    The duration of the latest substitution has not been disclosed.

  • OceanPact agrees to acquire Dock Brasil

    OceanPact agrees to acquire Dock Brasil

    OceanPact has signed an agreement to acquire Dock Brasil, a ship repair and docking yard located in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro.

    The transaction remains subject to corporate and legal steps, with completion expected by August 31. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

    Dock Brasil said its operations, contracts and client service structure will remain unchanged. Carlos Boeckh, one of the company’s founders, will return as general director.

    The move comes as OceanPact expands its position in Brazil’s offshore support market following its announced business combination with CBO.

    If completed, the acquisition would give OceanPact direct exposure to docking and repair capacity during an active dry-docking cycle in Brazil’s offshore support fleet.
