The work will be performed at water depths between 1,600 meters and 2,000 meters, and is scheduled to start in fourth quarter of 2009. The project will be executed by Aker Solutions’ construction vessels, the BOA Sub C and BOA Deep C.

“This is an important project for Aker Solutions as it further strengthens our relationship with BP and our position within deepwater marine contracting,” says Erik Wiik, president Subsea North America, Aker Solutions. “We are very pleased to be working together with BP America on this project.”
