Veripos, a world leader in the provision of precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning solutions to the offshore oil and gas industry, has been awarded a series of contracts in Brazil under which it is to provide high-precision GNSS positioning products and services to leading offshore operators, DOF Subsea, NorSkan Offshore and Companhia Brasileira de Offshore (CBO).
The DOF Subsea contract includes the provision of Veripos Ultra dual beam precise point positioning (PPP) service supported by two LD2-G2 integrated mobile demodulators and proprietary Verify QC processing software aboard the ROV support vessel, Skandi Chieftan. Similar facilities have already been operational for some time aboard the company’s other ROV vessels, Skandi Fluminense and Skandi Salvador. Meanwhile, DOF Subsea’s associate Brazilian concern, NorSkan Offshore, is to utilise Veripos’ Standard positioning service and L1D3S mobile units aboard its tug supply vessel, Skandi Copacabanca, whose two sister ships Skandi Leblon and Skandi Flamengo are already operating identical facilities.
