DOF Group ASA signs a new long-term contract in Brazil, securing a four-year agreement with Petrobras for the RSV Skandi Commander.

The award follows the same competitive tender process that previously resulted in six four-year RSV contract wins announced by DOF. Under this latest scope, Skandi Commander will deploy an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) as part of its duties, in addition to a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV).

The contract is expected to commence in January 2027 and is valued at approximately $150 million.

Chief executive Mons Aase said the company’s Brazil performance this year has added more than $2 billion to backlog through AHTS, RSV, and PIDF tenders. He also noted that DOF is marking 25 years of operations in Brazil, with a large share of the fleet now secured on firm contracts extending beyond 2030.
