It will be the first of a total of 11 vessels it will receive in the next four years in a $250 million investment, 80% of which will come from the FMM (Merchant Marine Fund, a special BNDES fund supporting ship construction investments).  All of these vessels are already contracted to Petrobras for service in Northeast Brazil.

The fleet will be composed of 7 crew boats being built at the Arpoador shipyard in Angra dos Reis in southern Rio de Janeiro. Another 4 PSVs were ordered from the EISA shipyard, also in Rio with a delivery date set for 2014. The company has ambitious plans to expand their fleet of crew and support vessels to 60 ships in the next 15 years.
