Norwegian offshore engineer Dof ASA (DOF.OS) said Tuesday it has been awarded vessel contracts worth a total of NOK575 million.

Petrobras has extended the contract for its Geoholm vessel by 18 months to December 2016.

The extension is a direct continuation of the current contract and the vessel has been operating for Petrobras since January 2014. Geoholm is owned by the subsidiary DOF Subsea AS.

Statoil and Norskan Offshore have signed a two year contract with further options for the Skandi Peregrino vessel. The new contract will start after the end of the current contract on 23 December 2015. The vessel is owned by DOF Deepwater, a 50/50 joint venture owned by DOF ASA and Akastor ASA (AKA.OS).
