Petrobras revokes newbuild AHTS tender

Petrobras has revoked its tender for the charter of up to two newbuild AHTS vessels before the opening of proposals.

According to the official notice, the company reassessed the assumptions that supported the procurement, the need for the contracting and its corporate priorities following an economic review of its projects.

Petrobras concluded that continuing the tender was no longer convenient under the revised conditions.

The decision follows a prolonged procurement process marked by repeated extensions.

On July 17, after the fourth postponement, we noted that the possibility of cancellation could no longer be ignored:

The tender had been open since December 2024 and was most recently scheduled to close on August 21, 2026.
