Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels form the backbone of production in Brazil with numerous new ventures coming on stream, including Almirante Barroso MV32 (Búzios field), Anita Garibaldi MV33 (Marlim field), Mero 3 (Libra block) and a fifth FPSO joining the four others in the Parque das Baleias area.

Amarinth is an approved supplier of goods and services to Petrobas, having successfully completed projects for them and other operators in the region, including Equinor, ExxonMobil and Shell, working in close collaboration with leading FPSO vessel contractors, including MODEC, SBM, and Bumi Armada.

With a strong network of supply chain partners, including motor supplier WEG that is already operating in Brazil, Amarinth’s partnership with M&O further strengthens the company’s ability to increase in-country value to Brazil.

Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, said: “We are delighted to be working with M&O who have such a strong presence in the Brazilian oil and gas market. Together, we will provide world-class pumping solutions for the most demanding offshore projects while contributing to the commendable goal of enhancing Brazilian in-country value.”

Jan Lomholdt, chairperson of M&O, added: "As we continue to serve the Brazilian oil and gas sector, this partnership will enhance our ability to provide cutting-edge equipment and services to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Together with Amarinth, we are committed to advancing the industry's goals and supporting sustainable energy solutions in Brazil.”
