Norwegian technology group Kongsberg Maritime has won contracts in China and Korea to deliver its specialist offshore technology to 13 vessels, worth £53.3million in total.
The company’s Full Picture solution consists of integrated dynamic positioning (DP), automation, navigation and hydro-acoustic positioning.
The technology will be installed on four advanced offshore drilling units, two advanced accommodation units, six liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels and one LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) with integrated automation system.
One of the contracts is for the advanced Agility Group A5000 semi-submersible drilling rig ordered by drilling contractor China Oilfield Services, which the company hopes will strengthen its position in the Chinese drilling market.
“These new contracts for 2014 build on an excellent 2013 performance in China and Korea, where Kongsberg was chosen for numerous advanced vessel newbuildings by major yards and owners,” said Morten Stanger, regional manager for offshore Asia at Kongsberg Maritime.
“We truly appreciate the confidence shown by both the shipyards and the vessel owners when selecting Kongsberg as a partner for key technology on these prestigious projects.”
