petrobras accommodation

On Monday last week, Petrobras received offers for the 50 POB accommodation vessel public tender. The opportunity sought to hire one walk-to-work vessel to provide accommodation and catering services. With only three vessels presented, Solstad managed to secure first place in both Brazilian/REB and foreign flag batches, with Normand Australis at global day rates of USD 87.445 and USD 82.543 respectively. The rates are inclusive of mob/demob fees and temporary importation taxes since this type of vessel does not qualify for REPETRO regime. The contract duration will be of 740 days.
