The Oslo-listed vessel owner said that Petrobras contracted the inspection maintenance and repair (IMR)vessel Far Saga for six years with six years’ options.

The Far Saga will be upgraded with a new, larger crane before departing the North Sea in December for Brazilian waters.

The vessel will provide remotely-operated vehicle support and other subsea-related activities under the contract.

Petrobras has also extended the contract for the anchor-handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) Far Sea for another four years, beginning next month.
