Scana; Offloading Systems breakthrough in Brazil
Scana Industrier ASA has through it's subsidary Scana Offshore Vestby AS, been
awarded a LOI ("Letter of Intent") to deliver 16 offloading systems to Brazil.
The LOI is issued by the Brazilian company Engevix Construcões Oceânicas S.A,
and covers eight Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSOs)
under construction.
The contract value is approximately 350 MNOK (EUR 45 mill).
-The award is a strong recognition of Scana's capabilities and gives Scana a
very strong foothold in Brazil. Also, it shows the great potential for Scana
deliveries to the improving FPSO market, says CEO in Scana Industrier ASA, Mr.
Rolf Roverud.
Manufacturing is planned to start 2(nd) quarter 2011 and deliveries commence
from 1(st)quarter 2012 and continue into 2014. Project management will be in
Norway and Brazil, while manufacturing and assembly are planned to take place in
Europe and Brazil.
-The next steps are to settle the final contract with Engevix, to establish the
project organization and to settle the sub-contracts, Roverud says. -For Scana
it is important and of special interest to utilize the local Brazilian market
for deliveries to these off-loading systems as this also will be of great value
for our further business in Brazil, Roverud continues.
