The impact caused notable damage to the port side foreship of the Batuira, leading to the disconnection of the gangway linking the Maintenance and Safety Unit (UMS) to the FPSO.

It’s noteworthy that the 'Petroras 77' continued its operations, maintaining production at a water depth of 1,980 meters.
