Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, Intermoor, has been awarded a broad-ranging quality assurance contract by Petrobras in Brazil.
The three-year contract is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston in May.
As work is set to commence this month, Intermoor will be providing traceability services across Petrobras’ extensive inventory of critical mooring components, besides delivering comprehensive quality assurance as well. The mooring component comprises an intricate network of anchors, chains, wire and associated accessories that supports Petrobras offshore operations portfolio across Brazil.
Other services will include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag installation, dimensional and visual inspection of mooring equipment, triage of returned components and deployment of advanced 3D scanning and photogrammetry technologies. While these will cover Petrobras’ bases in Rio de Janeiro and Macaé, it also has scopes for expansion to additional sites nationwide.
The contract further solidifies Acteon’s two-decade presence in Brazil, where the company operates five offices providing engineering, survey and mooring support services, including quayside facilities at Porto do Açu.
"This award is a strong endorsement of our long-standing partnership with Petrobras and our commitment to the safe, efficient management of critical offshore infrastructure. By combining proven mooring expertise with innovative digital monitoring and inspection technologies, we provide insight and rapid responsiveness our customers need to protect assets, optimise performance and make confident decisions across the entire project lifecycle," said David McGuire, EVP, InterMoor.
