Norwegian ocean-intelligence specialist Miros has secured double-digit offshore technology contracts across South America between Q1 and Q3 2026, with Brazil accounting for the majority of the activity and the remainder tied to offshore operations in Guyana.

The 2026 awards cover real-time wave and ocean monitoring plus oil spill detection systems, deployed in support of subsea construction, offshore vessel operations, drilling-related activities and environmental response. The contract set includes both new customers and repeat business, with existing clients extending Miros equipment onto additional offshore support vessels, marine response vessels and drilling-related assets.

The awards build on a run of wins Miros closed in Brazil and Guyana during the final months of 2025, which the company reads as sustained — not one-off — commercial traction in the region rather than a single campaign of orders.

Marius Five Aarset, CEO of Miros, framed the significance of the awards in terms of procurement patterns rather than headline count. "What is particularly encouraging is not simply the number of wins, but the pattern behind them. We are seeing new customers adopting Miros' technology, existing customers expanding to additional vessels, and growing activity in Brazil," he said.

"Across subsea operations, drilling, vessel operations and oil spill response, the common requirement is reliable real-time information that supports safer and better-informed decisions offshore," Aarset added.

Andrew Wallace, Regional Commercial Manager at Miros, pointed to the company's investment posture in the region. "At Miros we have a long-term commitment to Brazil and the wider South American market. We continue investment in the region through our technology, engineering expertise, commercial resources and direct customer engagement, supported by our trusted local partners who strengthen our regional reach and delivery capabilities," Wallace said.

"The continued activity strengthens Miros' presence in South America, with Brazil at the center of its regional growth and further opportunities across offshore energy, vessel operations and environmental monitoring," he said.

In Brazil, Miros delivers through long-term local partner Belga Marine, which handles customer support and local execution of solutions including the company's oil spill detection systems.

The demand profile behind the awards tracks the operational realities of the two basins driving them. Brazil's presalt sector — the dominant theatre for subsea construction, floating production and drilling activity off the country's southeast coast — requires continuous metocean data for vessel station-keeping, riser and launch operations, and regulatory environmental monitoring. Guyana's Stabroek Block development campaign, with its heavy FPSO and drillship activity, generates similar requirements for real-time sea-state intelligence across a growing spreader of deepwater assets.

Oil spill detection capability adds a compliance dimension. Both Brazilian and Guyanese offshore operations operate under environmental response obligations that reward early detection, and the repeat purchases by marine response vessel operators suggest that capability, not just wave monitoring, is driving fleet-wide adoption.

The financial value of the awards was not disclosed, and Miros did not break out the split between Brazilian and Guyanese contracts. The company also did not identify individual customers.

Watch item: whether the Brazil-Guyana momentum carries into Q4 2026 and 2027, as Guyana's FPSO pipeline expands and Brazilian operators weigh further subsea tieback campaigns — both of which would extend the vessel count addressable by Miros and Belga Marine.
