Capital Marítima announces Petrobras contract

Capital Marítima has announced a new contract with Petrobras, marking a significant step forward in the company’s expansion within Brazil’s offshore support market. The agreement involves the vessel Ace Defender, a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) that will now join Petrobras’ operations under a time charter contract with a fully integrated crew package.

Headquartered in Barra da Tijuca, Capital Marítima operates in the offshore marine sector with a portfolio focused on vessel ownership and operations, offshore and port support services, coastal shipping, Ship-to-Ship (STS) operations, and the development of integrated marine solutions for Brazil’s energy industry.

Under the time charter agreement, the Ace Defender will be delivered fully crewed and ready for immediate deployment, strengthening Petrobras’ operational capabilities in the offshore marine support segment. The vessel will become part of the fleet dedicated to the logistical support of deepwater and ultra-deepwater operations, a market segment experiencing continued growth amid rising demand for specialized marine services in the oil and gas industry.

The new contract represents an important milestone for the company and highlights the growing participation of qualified Brazilian shipowners in supporting Petrobras’ offshore operations, further reinforcing the expansion of the country’s maritime industry.

WSB Advisors will continue monitoring Capital Marítima’s development as the company further consolidates its position within Brazil’s offshore support vessel market.
