Petrobras Signs Deal for Four New Support Vessels to Modernize Offshore Fleet
Preview
Petrobras has recently signed a deal for the construction of four new 'handy' class vessels with a total capacity of 15,000 to 18,000 deadweight tonnage. These vessels are part of Petrobras' broader strategy to commission 25 new ships, with 16 already listed in their strategic plan for the 2025-2029 period. The new vessels are expected to bolster Petrobras' offshore support fleet, aligning with their efforts to modernize and expand their operations. This move is consistent with Petrobras' ongoing investments in local shipbuilding capabilities, which have been a significant part of their business strategy to support the growth and development of Brazil's shipbuilding industry.
