Fabrication of the topsides for the utility and living quarters under a Nkr6.7 billion ($842 million) contract secured from field operator Statoil last year with US engineering partner KBR will generate significant value and employ 2000 workers at peak for Kvaerner to offset earlier job losses due to a market slump.
The award was seen as critical to maintaining topsides fabrication activity at the yard.
