Aker Solutions has won an order valued at more than NOK 1.6 billion ($201 million) to deliver the largest umbilicals system ever.
The contract entails delivery of 250 kilometers of steel-tube umbilicals linking a subsea development to an existing offshore platform.
“We are honored to have been selected to work on this project, which is groundbreaking in terms of the size and technology of the umbilicals system,” said Luis Araujo , chief executive officer of Aker Solutions.
The work will be led by Aker Solutions in Oslo and manufacturing will take place at the company’s umbilicals plant in Moss, Norway. Delivery is set for the end of 2018.
The parties have agreed to not disclose the name of the project or customer at this point.
