A Petrobras drillship believed sold for scrap last year has been granted a new lease of life by Dutch subsea contractor Allseas.
The company has acquired the 61,000-dwt Vitoria 10000 (built 2010) for conversion into a metals mining ship in partnership with DeepGreen Metals.
In November, a second auction for the unit was thought to have resulted in its sale for demolition for $15.1m.
