Start of the project is expected to be in
September 2008. The contract value is approximately USD 137 million for
the three years.
Fugro will operate the diving support vessel '
Toisa Sentinel ' with an eighteen man 350 metres saturation dive system
and two ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), one for water depths up to
3,000 metres and one for waters depths up to 1,500 metres.
Fugro
has operated with Sealion Shipping onboard the ' Toisa Sentinel ' for
many years and has performed many dives in water depths up to 350 metres
without incident in that time. The ROVs are used to monitor divers and
to carry out inspection, repair and maintenance works in waters up to
3,000 metres.
With other recent awards and ongoing contracts, Fugro operates now fourteen ROV’s in Brazil.
Four additional new ROVs are scheduled for delivery to Brazil later this year.
