Intermoor, Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, has been awarded a new contract by Petrobras for the provision of inspection, preservation, maintenance, and operational readiness services for subsea interconnection, mooring and anchoring materials.

This award marks the third contract secured by Intermoor from Petrobras in less than a year, reinforcing a long-standing partnership built on technical capability, operational performance and consistent delivery.

Under the scope of work, Intermoor will deliver integrated services covering a wide range of critical mooring components, including chains, steel wire ropes, anchors, connectors, load collars, anode collars, adapters and other load handling accessories. These services will support Petrobras’ offshore operations across Brazil’s extensive subsea infrastructure portfolio.

Mooring and subsea inspection and maintenance scope

The three-year contract includes:

  - Visual and dimensional inspection of materials and accessories
  - Non-destructive testing, including magnetic particle and liquid penetrant testing
  - Cleaning and surface preparation
  - Surface treatment and painting for preservation purposes
  - Maintenance, repair, replacement and reconditioning of anchoring components
  - Handling, transportation where required, storage and preservation of materials.

In addition, the project requires the allocation of 20,000 m2 dedicated exclusively to the temporary storage of Petrobras materials undergoing maintenance at Intermoor’s Açu Port yard. This facility will ensure proper identification, organisation and traceability throughout the maintenance cycle.

End-to-end mooring lifecycle delivery in Brazil

This contract further strengthens Intermoor’s position across the full mooring lifecycle, including permanent mooring installation in Brazil. The ability to inspect, maintain and recondition critical components at scale provides direct control over asset readiness, quality and traceability ahead of offshore execution.

Combined with continued investment in the Açu Port base, Intermoor continues to help operators maintain asset integrity and is well positioned to support installation programmes with greater efficiency, improved mobilisation planning and increased operational certainty.

Marcos Passos General Manager, Intermoor do Brasil:

We thank Petrobras for their continued confidence and look forward to supporting safe, efficient and reliable operations across their portfolio. As Intermoor celebrates twenty years in Brazil, it continues to support complex offshore projects with proven local expertise.
