By GlobalDataIn January, Subsea 7 announced the early termination of the day-rate contract for its PLSV Seven Mar working for Petrobras, offshore Brazil.
Originally, the contract was due to expire next year, and the backlog of the group fell by around $106m as a result.
Following termination, the operating licence for Seven Mar expired, which resulted in the contract ending early.
Last month, Subsea 7 announced it would acquire certain businesses of EMAS Chiyoda Subsea under the US bankruptcy code Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganisation.
The acquisition became effective on 29 June after confirmation from the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
