Live tracking and data notes
The live ship tracker on this page provides a map-based AIS view for PETROBRAS 79 through the configured external tracking provider. AIS information can be delayed, incomplete or temporarily unavailable because reception and provider coverage vary by area and vessel. The map is intended for general vessel discovery and position context and must not be used for navigation or safety-critical decisions.
Additional profile sections appear only when suitable source records are available, including ownership and management, engine or classification information, surveys, inspections, casualties, and sale or demolition events. Missing fields are not filled with invented values, so some modules may be absent when the underlying data snapshot does not contain sufficient evidence. The profile is compiled from controlled source records maintained for Ship-Tracker.org and may change as newer verified data becomes available.

Casualties & incidents
The three most recent recorded casualty or incident events are shown below.
A Petrobras employee has died while supervising a stress test on a Petrobras FPSO being built in Hanwha Ocean’s shipyard in Geoje.
The supervisor from the Brazilian company died after falling from the Petrobras 79 FPSO. A structure fell into the sea from the stern deck of the vessel during a test on Wednesday.
The supervisor fell into the sea and was initially reported missing. The body was later found after Hanwha Ocean launched an emergency maritime search in cooperation with external agencies, including the police, fire department, and the Coast Guard.
The accident occurred during an offloading hose reel road test on the stern deck. The 312-tonne load test was not completed as when the weight was lifted to 280 tons, the deck collapsed and the structure fell into the sea.
Hanwha Ocean CEO Kim Hee-Cheul expressed deep regret over the accident in a written apology and offered condolences to the Brazilian government and Petrobras.
“Hanwha Ocean immediately suspended related operations on the vessel after the accident. We are working with relevant authorities to determine the exact cause and will take all necessary measures to prevent a recurrence,” he said.
This is the first industrial accident reported by Hanwha Ocean this year. Work at the shipyard will resume today after the special safety training and special safety inspection have been concluded.
