AQUARIUS BRASIL EMERGED AS A WINNER FOR A NEW CHARTER
Petrobras currently has a fleet of seven flotels — Safe Notos, Safe Eurus, Safe Zephyrus, OOS Tiradentes, Aquarius Brasil, Posh Arcadia and Posh Xanadu — operating offshore Brazil, but some are due to end their contracts in early 2024. In the recent tender, for a unit nicknamed UMS N-15, Aquarius Brasil BV emerged on top with the Aquarius Brasil vessel for the full contracting window of four years. We thank all our management team and vessel crew for their efforts to achieve this new milestone for our company providing excellent management service and successful 10-year track record of our unit working for Brazilian oil giant.
The past 10 years has been a success for Aquarius Brasil operation in Brazil and this success story is to continue with a new long-term charter with Petrobras. Aquarius Brasil will start a new long-term charter directly after the current charters ends in Q2 2024. Aquarius Brasil has delivered outstanding operational performance and been praised by client to be one of the best performing UMS in Brazil. We believe that the long-term contract is a result of our continuous improvement of vessel operations and long terms commitment of our staff working with Aquarius Brasil. The commercial and operational performance is laying the foundation for another decade of safe and reliable operation in Brazil. The plan for Aquarius Brasil is to continue operating and providing vast range of services along the growing FPSO fleet in Brazil.
