  • AHTS multipurpose arrives

    AHTS multipurpose arrives

    Oceanicasub X, another AHTS acquisition for Oceanica’s fleet, has arrived in Brazil. The vessel was awarded by Petrobras in a public opportunity back in 2022 as AHTS Multipurpose for a firm duration of approx. 4 years. Besides the regular activities of an AHTS, the vessel will also be required to engage in ROV and shallow diving operations.

    “Although this is the first time Petrobras charters one AHTS with the provision of diving services, it will not be the first time diving operations will be carried out from this type of vessel, as in the recent past Petrobras had very successful experiences mobilizing diving systems on their own at C-Sailor and Asso Trentuno, both anchor handlers from Bram and Asso Marítima, respectively”, said Raphael Montes, Proposals Manager at WSB.
