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.
