Maersk Supply Service has signed an assignment agreement with TechnipFMC for the towing and mooring campaign of Petrobras’s Búzios 6 Project, offshore Santos Basin, Brazil.
The scope covers the pre-installation of the mooring system and hook up of the FPSO P-78 which will be the seventh FPSO in the Búzios field.
The project will be carried out over almost two years, with onshore work (including engineering, procurement and project management for such assigned activities) already underway.
The offshore work is expected to utilise two of Maersk Supply Service’s M-class anchor handlers, which will be supported by an additional four Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels for the station keeping.

“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,” said Olivier Trouvé, Head of Integrated Solutions at Maersk Supply Service.
