Oceaneering International, Inc., through its Angolan subsidiary, has been awarded a contract by a major client to provide material and labor to fabricate Hydraulic Flying Leads (HFLs) and refurbish client equipment. This milestone award marks the first multi-year HFL contract for retrofitting and new installations to be executed entirely within Angola.

Work under the contract began in the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to continue through 2028, with deliveries scheduled in alignment with the client’s operational needs.

All refurbishment activities will be performed at Oceaneering’s Viana manufacturing facility, which has the capabilities and infrastructure to execute this specialized work, carried out by Oceaneering’s Angolan personnel. Hose components will be supplied from Oceaneering’s Niterói manufacturing facility in Brazil, supporting seamless production across regions.

ElHoussain ElMoutia, Sr. Director, Africa, commented: “This award reinforces Oceaneering’s commitment to local execution, in-country value, and the delivery of high-quality, reliable subsea products and services. We are proud to grow our operations in Angola and expand opportunities for our local workforce. Earning the client’s trust to deliver this multi-year project is a testament to the capabilities of our Angolan team.”
