Maersk Supply Service signed an assignment agreement with TechnipFMC for the comprehensive towing and mooring campaign of Petrobras’s Búzios 6 Project (seventh module of Búzios), Offshore Brazil.

The scope covers the pre-installation of the mooring system and hook up of the FPSO P-78. The FPSO P-78 will be the seventh FPSO in the Búzios field, located offshore Santos Basin, Brazil.

The project will be carried out over almost 2 years, with onshore work (including engineering, procurement and project management for such assigned activities) already underway, and offshore work that is expected to utilise two of Maersk Supply Service’s state-of-the-art M-class anchor handlers, which will be supported by an additional four AHTS for the station keeping.

Rafael Thome, Managing Director for Brazil at Maersk Supply Service, says:

“We are very pleased to support the development of the Búzios 6 field and to further expand our operations in Brazil. Our approach is to combine our engineering, project management and operational experience with the best-in-class capabilities of our fleet, providing added value to the Brazilian market.”

Olivier Trouvé, Head of Integrated Solutions at Maersk Supply Service, says:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue building on our positive relationship with Technip FMC, and to further demonstrate our capabilities in delivering challenging EPCI mooring projects in deep-water Brazil. We now look forward to adding to our excellent track record of safe and efficient integrated project executions.”
