“With this contract, Maersk Supply Service demonstrates that we are a trusted and preferred vessel provider in Brazil’s highly challenged market. We look forward to further building our good relationship with PetroRio and continuing our strong track-record of consistently delivering high quality and safe services to our clients,” says CCO Carsten Gram Haagensen.
