Brazil’s state-owned energy giant Petrobras has prolonged a contract of an anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel, owned by Solstad Offshore, a Norwegian shipping company.
Following the initial four-year contract for the AHTS Normand Turquesa , Petrobras has now extended this deal by a year.
The start of the previously announced multi-year contract has been amended from 1Q 2026 to 1Q 2027, representing an additional gross value of approximately $15.4 million.
As a result, the 2007-built AHTS Normand Turquesa has a firm commitment with the Brazilian giant until January 2031, with a total gross contract value of around $100 million.
This extension comes after two AHTS vessels secured contracts with an undisclosed operator in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
