Aker Kvaerner Takes Over Maintenance of Siri Platform
The Danish state oil company DONG has signed a letter of intent with Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner for maintenance and modification on the Siri platform. The experienced Norwegian offshore company has chosen to take both Promecon and YIT A/S from Esbjerg as important Danish partners when they take over the maintenance contract on the Siri platform on 1 January 2005.
The contract will include maintenance planning, maintenance analysis, inspections and future modifications on the platform. According to the cooperation agreement with Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner, Promecon shall be responsible for all steel and piping fabrication and installation, while YIT A/S will have an equivalent responsibility for the "white" disciplines electro, instrument and telecommunication. The two companies will also contribute with engineering resources for the accomplishment of the contract.
The cooperation agreement with Promecon and YIT A/S will secure the two Danish companies substantial transfer of know how from Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner. The company has long and comprehensive experience from nearly 60-70 installations on the Norwegian and British shelf in the North Sea and will contribute to developing the partners' competence. This will increase Promecon's and YIT A/S's chances to win international contracts from their bases in Esbjerg.
If all the options are maintained, Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner will from 1 January 2005 have total responsibility for the maintenance of the Siri platform for ten years. Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner will establish a subsidiary in Denmark in order to handle the contract. Initially the company will mobilise a few persons who will work integrated with the DONG company in Copenhagen.
