Aker Solutions moves north

The new office will gather knowledge and expertise related to the northern region. It will become involved in engineering and maintenance and modification projects on the entire Norwegian continental shelf and abroad, and be an integral part of Aker Solutions' international competence network.
The establishment of the Tromsø office is part of Aker Solutions' overall strategy to increase the company's footprint in the northern regions of Norway, driven by an increasing number of interesting field development opportunities offshore northern Norway and in the Barents Sea.
Elsewhere in northern Norway, Aker Solutions is in the process of building up a subsea service base - housing engineers, technical staff and field operators - in Hammerfest to support the Goliat subsea field development. Aker Solutions has also recently acquired the Narvik-based well technology business X3M Invent. Aker Solutions is also considering establishing an engineering office in Sandnessjøen to support the company's modifications and operations services business.
