What OceanPact does

OceanPact is a Brazilian maritime services company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro that provides environmental monitoring, subsea inspection and maintenance, offshore logistics, and engineering services to the oil and gas industry and government agencies. The company was founded in 2007 and listed on B3 as OPCT3 in 2021 currently operates a fleet of 28 offshore vessels (73 on a pro-forma basis following the announced all-stock merger with CBO pending CADE approval) and a multidisciplinary team of 2,000+ personnel including 242 engineers and 114 biologists/oceanographers. Core service lines are organized into three units: Environmental (oil spill response, environmental permitting, sustainability consulting), Subsea Operations (ROV operations, geophysical surveys, decommissioning, IRM), and Logistics and Engineering (port operations, offshore support bases, cargo management). Notable commercial wins include an R$443.7 million Marlim Field decommissioning contract with Petrobras and ongoing work for Trident Energy, IBAMA, and the Brazilian Navy. Revenue is generated primarily through long-term, contract-based engagements awarded via competitive bidding against other offshore service providers, with Petrobras and other deepwater operators as anchor clients.

The company's technology stack centers on the Cronos meteoceanographic data platform, which uses HF radar for near-real-time surface current mapping and feeds predictive analytics and route optimization. This is wrapped in OceanPact Digital, an integrated operational and environmental data platform that won the 2025 OSJ Innovation of the Year award and bundles ROV, monitoring, and environmental telemetry into a single customer-facing layer. Proprietary physical assets include a US- and Brazil-granted Fixed Boom oil containment patent, an autonomous unmanned tug for spill response, and a Planckaero-Drone for offshore aerial surveillance. Following the CBO merger, OceanPact projects combined annual revenue of R$4 billion (USD 778 million) and a backlog of USD 2.7 billion, and has begun international expansion into Guyana, Suriname, Mexico, and Norway to follow Brazilian deepwater operators into adjacent basins.
