Kongsberg Maritime awarded substantial deck machinery contract for a new FPSO development

Kongsberg Maritime has secured a significant contract to provide advanced deck machinery for a new Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in Asia. The contract encompasses a complete mooring and deck machinery solution, encompassing chain pull-in winches, chain stoppers, fairleads, riser pull-in winches, and related control and automation systems. Delivery of the equipment is projected for the middle of 2027.

A key technical aspect of the project is the substantial mooring chain dimension, indicative of the challenging operating conditions the FPSO will encounter. Marte Tyldum, SVP of Kongsberg Maritime Handling, expressed satisfaction with the extended partnership on another FPSO development. "This project showcases our expertise in delivering resilient deck machinery solutions for intricate offshore applications, merging formidable engineering proficiency with dependable automation and control systems," he stated.

The contract is a repeat order from the customer, following Kongsberg Maritime's previous contract for another FPSO development. This new agreement further fortifies the existing partnership between the companies and builds upon the successful project execution history. IP Huse will manage the mechanical design, while Kongsberg Maritime will supply the automation, control systems, and overall project management.

The mechanical components will be fabricated in Norway at IP Huse's Harøy facilities, ensuring seamless integration between engineering, production, and delivery.

By fusing Norwegian manufacturing expertise with advanced automation and robust project execution capabilities, Kongsberg Maritime continues to supply FPSO operators with dependable, scalable solutions tailored to the rigorous demands of offshore development.
