Kongsberg Maritime lands FPSO deck machinery deal with unnamed energy giant
Norwegian tech supplier secures ‘substantial’ contract for next-gen floating production unit—no financials disclosed.
Norwegian technology group Kongsberg Maritime has landed a significant contract to supply advanced deck machinery for a new Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel destined for an offshore project in Asia. The agreement, signed with an unnamed major energy operator, marks a repeat collaboration between the two companies.
The scope includes a fully integrated mooring system featuring chain pull-in winches, chain stoppers, fairleads, riser pull-in winches, and automated control systems. Equipment delivery is slated for mid-2027. A standout technical challenge is the FPSO’s oversized mooring chains, designed to withstand harsh offshore conditions—highlighting Kongsberg’s expertise in heavy-duty marine solutions.

“This project underscores our ability to combine robust engineering with cutting-edge automation for demanding applications,” said Marte Tyldum, SVP of Kongsberg Maritime Handling. The contract builds on a prior FPSO collaboration with the same client, reinforcing their long-term partnership.
