Aker Yards will build four well-intervention and construction vessels for newly created Aker Group business, Aker Oilfield Services, it was announced Friday.
Some NOK4 billion ($650 million) will change ledgers should the new business not use a cancel option on the final two vessels.
The 157-metre, 18-knot converted Aker OSCV 06 WI craft will arrive in six-month intervals starting in the spring of 2010. Other ship features include “an active heave compensated crane, remotely operated vehicle, launching systems and a Derrick for well-intervention”.
Announced earlier this week, Aker Oilfield owners will be DOF Subsea with 25 percent and 75 percent to the Aker companies behind a new Aker Innovation entity.
