Malaysian shipping company AET has delivered dynamic positioning shuttle tanker (DPST) Eagle Paulinia to Petrobas on 24 July.

The vessel is on the way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to begin its duties. It will join Eagle Petrolina, the sister ship, and other two DSPTs that are operated by AET in the Brazilian Basin.

In 2018, AET signed a long-term charter agreement with Petrobas to operate four Suezmax shuttle tankers in the Brazilian Basin.

The first of the four vessels, Eagle Petrolina, was delivered to Petrobas on 26 May.

Both vessels were built in South Korea. The other two vessels are under construction.

The four vessels have a deadweight tonnage (dwt) of 152,000 and are constructed according to the technical requirements of Petrobas for DP2 shuttle tankers.
