DOF informed in an Oslo Stock Exchange filing on Monday that the anchor handling tug and supply vessel Skandi Admiral has been awarded a one-year contract with the Brazilian state-owned oil company Petrobras.

The shipping company said that the contract will start by the end of May or in early June.
