    New Wave of Petrobras Contracts Signals Market Revival!

    The recent Petrobras bids for chartering two AHTS vessels and constructing eight LPG carriers highlight a significant uptick in market activity, signaling a potential resurgence in the sector. In addition to these opportunities, Petrobras is expected to conclude nine more tenders by the end of May, with particular hopes surrounding the bids for eight new RSVs and two AHTS-TO vessels.

    This Friday (14th), Petrobras is set to announce the results of its tenders for the chartering of two OSRVs and one MPSV, the latter being a rare opportunity that has drawn considerable interest from shipowners. On Monday (17th), expectations are high for the conclusion of the SOB (flotel) charter bid, another unusual and noteworthy opportunity in the market.

    Looking ahead, Petrobras/Transpetro is expected to launch additional LPG carrier opportunities, along with a new wave of OSV bids, including OSRVs, PSVs, AHTS, and RSVs. The possibility of newbuilding requests further reinforces the company’s aggressive stance in expanding its fleet and strengthening its position in the industry as well as the shipbuilding industry.

  • Updates on PSV newbuild tender

    Updates on PSV newbuild tender

    By Raphael Montes

    Petrobras has disclosed some significant changes to the ongoing public tender set to charter up to 12 newbuild PSVs. The opportunity was also postponed once again, now with a deadline until September 13th 2024. Amongst the changes to the tender, Petrobras opted to increase the maximum amount of awards per bidder from 4 to 6 vessels, which added 2 more batches for 8-year firm contract duration and 2 for 10-year firm contract duration.

    Additionally, Petrobras created 6 entirely new batches for 12-year firm contract duration, with the same specifications and mobilization strategy as the original batches.

    Considering the increase in awards per bidder and inclusion of batches for 12-year contracts, the opportunity now counts with 18 batches available for bidders to offer, rather than the original 8.

  • Petrobras takes in 10 more PSVs

    Petrobras takes in 10 more PSVs

    Petrobras is evaluating the results of their end of 2023 tender to charter up to 21 PSVs. As of now, 10 vessels qualified, including 4 under foreign flags. Bram leads with four vessels qualified, three of which are foreign-flagged. Wilson Sons follows with two.

    “Out of the 16 vessels expected to be hired—down from the initially anticipated 21—the discrepancy largely stems from budget constraints and higher-than-forecasted rates”, says Omar Darian, Chartering Manager at WSB. Additionally, the chartering Certificate by ANTAQ requires annual renewal, which remains a significant consideration for foreign-flagged vessels. Six additional offers are undergoing diligence.
