Subsea 7 won a contract worth more than US $350m from Petrobras for its pipelay support vessel Kommandor 3000.
The contract is on a dayrate basis for five years, with the vessel to start operations later this year. The Kommandor 3000 is due to spend approximately 90 days in dry-dock for maintenance.

The workscope is similar to the vessel’s current contract, including project management, engineering and the installation of Petrobras-supplied flexible lines and equipment on a dayrate basis.

The Kommandor 3000 is a construction/flexlay vessel with a purpose-built pipelay system to install flexible lines, umbilicals and equipment in up to 2,000 m (6,562 ft) of water and with a top tension capacity of 150 tonnes.
