Kongsberg Maritime Secures Contract for Equinor's Wisting Field Development

Kongsberg Maritime has been awarded a contract to provide the Safety and Automation System for Equinor’s Wisting Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, a key milestone in the development of one of the largest undeveloped oil discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Wisting is located in the Barents Sea, approximately 300 km north of the Norwegian mainland, and is expected to generate significant value creation and industrial activity in Norway over an anticipated operational life of around 30 years.

As part of the initial phase of the project, Kongsberg Maritime will support the front-end engineering and design (FEED) activities related to the Safety and Automation System scope. Kongsberg Maritime will work closely with Equinor and other project suppliers to develop and mature solutions that support a safe, efficient and sanctionable development concept for the FPSO.

Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, President and CEO of Kongsberg Maritime, said: “The Wisting development represents an important addition to Kongsberg Maritime’s growing portfolio of advanced offshore energy projects. Equinor has been a valued customer and technology partner for many years, consistently challenging the industry to deliver safer, smarter and more sustainable solutions.”
