Acteon inks three-year Petrobras contract for enhanced mooring asset integrity

Intermoor, Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, has been awarded a three-year contract by Petrobras, following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston in May 2025.  

With work due to commence in December 2025, Intermoor will deliver comprehensive quality assurance and traceability services across Petrobras’ extensive inventory of critical mooring components.  

Under this long-term agreement, Intermoor will oversee the quality assurance and digital traceability of critical mooring components, including anchors, chains, wire and associated accessories, supporting Petrobras offshore operations portfolio across Brazil. 

The scope includes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag installation, dimensional and visual inspection of mooring equipment, triage of returned components and deployment of advanced 3D scanning and photogrammetry technologies. Services will be executed across Petrobras’ facilities in Rio de Janeiro and Macaé, with potential expansion to additional sites nationwide. 

The contract further solidifies Acteon’s two-decade presence in Brazil, where the company operates five offices providing engineering, survey and mooring support services, including quayside facilities at Porto do Açu.
