Belov Engenharia has won new business from Petrobras to provide four shallow diving support vessels for offshore work in Brazil, following a tender launched last year to partly restore the state company’s SDSV fleet.
The four-year agreements are valued at about 2.7 billion reais, equivalent to $514.5 million. The vessels named in the contracts are Belov Amaralina, Belov Humaita, Belov Cidade Ouro Preto, and the newbuild Belov Arembepe.
The company said Belov Arembepe is being built at its yard in Bahia state and is due for delivery in the second half of 2027.
The vessels will be deployed on inspection and maintenance duties for Petrobras offshore platforms. Belov Engenharia said the units are equipped with advanced technology for that work.
Belov Engenharia director Weber Carneiro said the contract signing marked an important step for the operational stability of the company’s fleet.
