Petrobras aims high with latest round of tenders

摘要

All of the 'usual suspects' are believed involved in the bid, which could be for as many as 34 vessels but might just as easily turn out to be a damp squib. Those in the know suggest that about 15 contracts are most likely to be signed for platform supply vessels (PSVs) and anchor-handling tug/supply (AHTS) vessels. Although it is a major understatement to say that Petrobras is somewhat taciturn regarding the details of bids such as these, sources close to the bidding process have confirmed that Norskan Offshore (part of DOF Group), Bram Offshore, CBO, Wilson, Sons Ultratug, Starnav and Asgaard are the bidders moving forward in round seven.
