Aker Solutions has won an order to deliver the largest umbilicals system ever.
250 kilometers of steel-tube umbilicals will link a subsea development to an existing offshore platform. The contract is valued at more than NOK 1.6 billion (well over 170 million euros). In its press release, Aker stated it will not yet disclose the name of the project or customer.
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.
Umbilical systems are full service connections used to transport data, power and liquids between oil and gas installations on the seafloor to onshore facilities or platforms.
