Aker Solutions: Focusing on keeping competence and winning work

(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Eni Norge AS has notified Aker Solutions that the company will not be awardedthe EPC contract for delivery of the Goliat FPSO.- We are naturally disappointed, but our focus now is on winning other new buildprojects and securing our offshore competence in a challenging market, saysJannik Lindb? senior vice president for corporate communication in AkerSolutions.Aker Solutions was bidding for the job in a constellation with Samsung HeavyIndustries.The engineering would have been be conducted out of Oslo, the topside as well asthe integration of topside and hull would have taken place at the Stord yard,utility modules would have been fabricated at the Egersund yard while SamsungHeavy Industries would have built the hull and living quarter. This deliverymodel, including sub-suppliers, would have generated an estimated 7 000 manyears in Norway during the execution of the engineering, procurement andconstruction contract.- It is too early comment on how this will affect the future yard capacity inNorway. We will now invite our employee representatives to work with us to get acommon understanding of the current challenge, and set the direction goingforward, ends Lindb?ENDSFor further information, please contact:Media: Jannik Lindb?
