Aker solutions plans to recycle 98 percent of the 29,000-tonne structures, consisting of a 19,000-tonne topside and a 10,000-tonne steel jacket. The structures will be delivered mainly as modules by Saipem’s semi-submersible heavy lift vessel Saipem 7000 in the period from 2025 to 2027. The jacket will be delivered in two sections plus some minor items.

“Decommissioning is a growing market,” said senior vice president, decommissioning, Thomas Nygård. “This award adds to an order backlog that already stretches to 2030, and provides further predictability so that we can continue to develop our facility and execution model, with a strong focus on safe operations and capability to deliver a high degree of recycling.”
