INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS
Our income from equity affiliates is included in our Subsea segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our income from equity affiliates was $1.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively.
Our major equity method investment is as follows:
Dofcon Brasil AS is an affiliated company in the form of a joint venture between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea (“DOF”) and was founded in 2006. The joint venture is composed of three legal entities: Dofcon Brasil AS, Techdof Brasil AS and Dofcon Navegacao Ltda. Dofcon Brasil AS is the joint venture holding company and is owned 50% by DOF and 50% by TechnipFMC. Dofcon Brasil AS owns 100% of both Dofcon Navegacao Ltda and Techdof Brasil AS. All joint venture entities are collectively referred to as “Dofcon.” Dofcon provides Pipe-Laying Support Vessels for work in oil and natural gas fields offshore Brazil. Dofcon is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, we have accounted for our 50% investment using the equity method of accounting with results reported in our Subsea segment.
In June 2023, Dofcon Brasil AS declared a $170.0 million dividend to its joint venture partners. The dividend receivable was recorded within other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets until December 2023 when the joint venture partners agreed and signed the agreement to convert their outstanding dividend receivable into a long-term loan receivable from Dofcon. As a result of this conversion, we converted our 50% share of this dividend receivable into a long-term loan receivable that has a due date of June 26, 2028 and is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Dofcon Navegacao Ltda and Techdof Brasil AS have debts related to loans on their vessels. TechnipFMC and DOF provide guarantees for the debts and our share of the guarantees was $367.0 million as of March 31, 2024.

TechDof Brasil AS owns and operates the Skandi Buzios vessel. During June 2023, a fire occurred onboard the vessel alongside Porto do Açu in Brazil. Repairs on the vessel started during the fourth quarter of 2023 and are progressing according to plan. The vessel is scheduled to be back in operation during the second half of 2024. We
did not record an impairment on the carrying value of our investment as we did not note any impairment indicators from the incident that were other than temporary.
