The framework agreements have a fixed duration of five years, with options for extension of an additional three and two years. The total value is estimated to NOK 20 billion for the fixed agreement period. The final portfolio allocation will be determined once the contracts are signed, scheduled for January 19-25.

The main framework agreements cover a number of on- and offshore installations. In addition, Aibel has been awarded a competitive framework agreement for extended modifications and projects including both ongoing and new on- and offshore projects. The agreements are expected to provide a significant workload for Aibel and a solid foundation for further development of technology, organization and infrastructure.

“Since 2022, we have had a strategic long-term collaboration with Equinor, where a key focus has been improvements within maintenance and modifications. We are therefore proud of the trust Equinor places in us by once again choosing us as the supplier of maintenance and modification of critical infrastructure at both on- and offshore facilities. We look forward to continuing a close and successful collaboration, where we can contribute to the ongoing safe, profitable and sustainable development of the Norwegian continental shelf,” says Mads Andersen, President and CEO of Aibel.  

“I am both very happy and proud of Aibel for their exceptional performance and competence in their field. These awarded framework agreements are well-deserved and a strong recognition of their capabilities,” says Gustaf Salford, President and CEO of Ratos.
