Kongsberg Maritime secures deck machinery contract

Kongsberg Maritime has been awarded a substantial contract by a major energy operator to deliver advanced deck machinery for a new Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel for an offshore development in Asia. Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for mid-2027. The contract covers a fully integrated mooring and deck machinery solution encompassing chain pull-in winches, chain stoppers, fairleads, riser pull-in winches and associated control and automation systems. A notable technical feature of the project is the large mooring chain dimension, reflecting the demanding operating conditions of the FPSO and Kongsberg Maritime’s capability to design and supply high-capacity, heavy-duty deck machinery for complex offshore applications. Under the contract, IP Huse will be responsible for the mechanical design of the deck machinery, with manufacturing carried out at IP Huse’s facilities on Harøy in Norway.
