The approvals have now been secured and the AHTS vessels have been allocated to the contracts.

The contracts, which will start in the first quarter of 2026, each have a duration of four years and a combined gross value of approximately $210 million.

The vessels will be on bareboat contracts from SOMA to SOFF, which is the contract holder with Petrobras.
