Offshore services firm Acteon, through its Moorings and Anchors division InterMoor, has secured a three‑year contract with Brazil’s Petrobras to manage the integrity and traceability of mooring assets. The agreement, signed a few months after a memorandum of understanding at the 2025 Offshore Technology Conference, will begin in December 2025.
Under the contract, InterMoor will provide full quality assurance and digital traceability for Petrobras’s critical mooring equipment — including anchors, chains, wire, and related accessories — used in its offshore operations across Brazil.
The scope of work includes installation of RFID tags, visual and dimensional inspections, triage of returned components, and the deployment of advanced techniques such as 3D scanning and photogrammetry to support lifecycle tracking, equipment history, and faster decision-making. Services will be carried out at Petrobras facilities in Rio de Janeiro and Macaé, with potential to expand to additional sites.
Through this contract, Acteon further strengthens its long-standing presence in Brazil, where it has operated for over twenty years and maintains five offices, providing engineering, survey, and mooring support — including quayside capacity at Porto do Açu.
“Winning this award reflects the depth of our collaboration with Petrobras,” said David McGuire, Executive Vice President at InterMoor. He highlighted that combining long-proven mooring capabilities with advanced digital inspection and monitoring tools will help Petrobras achieve more efficient asset management and informed decision-making throughout the equipment lifecycle.
