Edison Chouest Lands Shell Brazil Contract

Two affiliates of Edison Chouest Ofshore (ECO) have signed a five-year contract with Shell Brazil for light subsea construction, and inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) services from the M/V Island Enforcer, a 122-meter subsea installation and construction vessel.

According to ECO, the agreement includes a varied list of projects featuring vessel services from ECO affiliate Bram Ofshore, and ROV and survey services from C-Innovation.

ECO has been active in Shell Brazil exploration campaigns since 2012.

The ‘all-inclusive contract’ also includes installation, commissioning, inspection, subsea intervention, surveys, testing, bunkering support and material transport.

“We’re offering a fully integrated solution,” said ECO Brazil director, Ricardo Chagas. “It’s unparalleled proof of versatility in the subsea market, which translates into cost benefits for our customers, especially valuable in times such as those we now face.”
