Mr. chafic new contract

AHTS 15000 Mr. Chafic of owners Edison Chouest has been awarded on Petrobras’ AHTS-TS hybrid tender for a 4-years contract. As previously reported on in our weekly market update, the two vessels from CBO that were placed first ended up being disqualified for not considering the installation of battery packs – a mandatory requirement for the tender. As a result, Mr. Chafic will be the first AHTS with hybrid propulsion to work in Brazilian waters. Edison Chouest has one year to conclude the modifications and the implementation of the battery packs onboard.
