Kongsberg Maritime Gets Safety, Automation Deal for Equinor's Wisting FPSO

Kongsberg Maritime has secured a contract to provide safety and automation systems for Equinor's planned Wisting floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, part of the development of one of the largest undeveloped oil discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The initial scope covers front-end engineering and design (FEED) activities for the FPSO's Safety and Automation System, with Kongsberg Maritime working alongside Equinor and other project suppliers, the company announced on November 6.

The Wisting field is located in the Barents Sea, approximately 300 kilometres north of the Norwegian mainland, and has an anticipated operational life of around 30 years.

During the FEED phase, Kongsberg Maritime will help develop and mature technical solutions intended to support a safe, efficient and sanctionable development concept for the FPSO.
