Kongsberg wins West African FPSO contract

Kongsberg Maritime entered into a US$26.5 million contract to supply a complete electrical, instrument and telecom solution, including e-house, for the new Yinson Genesis floating production storage offloading unit (FPSO).

The FPSO contract was awarded by Eni Ghana E&P to a consortium consisting of Yinson Production (West Africa) Pte Ltd. and Yinson Production West Africa Ltd.

The Kongsberg scope of work includes complete integration engineering, electrical systems, e-house and telecom and surveillance equipment. Kongsberg will also supply marine automation, process control, and a fire and gas detection system to the vessel. The FPSO is expected to be operational by 2017.

"The package for Yinson Genesis reflects our successes in acting as a key engineering and technology partner for FPSO customers," Geir Håøy, Kongsberg Maritime president said. "We have developed a strong FPSO market offering that positions Kongsberg Maritime as a single source supplier with high quality turnkey engineering and electrical services in addition to the most extensive marine technology portfolio available for offshore vessels and production units."
