The first right of refusal previously communicated for use of Safe Boreas from Q3 2023 to Q1 2024 has expired with Prosafe retaining a USD 1.8 million fee.

Tender update

In line with expectations, tender activity is increasing in Brazil. Petrobras has issued three separate four-year tenders and Prosafe expects further tenders in Brazil from Petrobras and other operators with contract commencements starting from Q2 2024.





Post recent awards, contract visibility for 2024 in the North Sea continues to be limited. However, Prosafe is seeing an increase in enquiries from potential clients both for 2024 and for 2025 and is optimistic that there will be additional tenders and/or direct awards in the North Sea in the coming months.
