Modec has appointed Aqualis Offshore to act as marine warranty surveyor for the integration of the MV29 FPSO at BrasFELS shipyard in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

BrasFELS, meanwhile, has appointed Aqualis Offshore to provide marine warranty services for the marine operations and departure of the P-66 and P-69 FPSOs that the shipyard is building for Petrobras.

Under the contracts, Aqualis Offshore, part of Oslo-listed Aqualis ASA, will oversee loadouts, transportation and installation of modules and high-value equipment, plus quayside mooring and tow to field. The contract values are undisclosed.

All three FPSOs will be installed in pre-salt fields offshore Brazil.
