Continental signs 2-year contract to provide ROV Services for oil giant Petrobras. Continental has been working closely with Petrobras since 1974.

Since Continental became part of the James Fisher group, the company has progressively expanded the services it offers, as well as the number and range of clients it serves, and now works with most of the major players in Brazil’s Oil & Gas sector. Its team of 177 experienced divers is currently deployed in operations performing a wide variety of tasks associated with the operation and maintenance of offshore assets.

‘These new services and growing client base mean the James Fisher group now has a well-established sub-sea services company in Brazil which can act as a catalyst for other group companies to enter the market here,’

says Latin America regional director, Richard Wilson.

Continental has also recently won its first contract to provide rope access services for a major wind farm operator:

‘There are many wind projects under consideration in this region, so we anticipate this to be the first of many such projects for us in the future,’ adds Richard.
