Aker BP Munin contract awarded to Heerema Fabrication
Aker BP has awarded Heerema Vlissingen a contract for the procurement and construction of the Munin jacket in the Yggdrasil area.

“This is an important contract for the Yggdrasil development. With this award, we have placed all major fixed facilities contracts in the Yggdrasil area, and we are in line with our execution plan,” states Project Director Peter Kupka for fixed facilities deliveries in Yggdrasil.”

“Heerema Fabrication Group Vlissingen is an experienced international contractor with a solid track record. I am very pleased that they will contribute to Yggdrasil and look forward to starting the execution phase for the Munin jacket,” Kupka continues.

Heerema Fabrication Group Vlissingen’s Yard Director, Richard Spronk, said: ‘We are very pleased to be awarded this contract by Aker BP for the procurement and construction of the Munin jacket. Constructing sizeable jackets is core business for Heerema Fabrication Group, and we look forward to working with Aker BP on this project.’

The jacket contract was signed on May 23.

Delivery in 2025

Munin is an unmanned production platform in the northern part of the Yggdrasil area in the North Sea. Aibel is delivering the topsides.

Aker Solutions will do the detailed engineering of the jacket. The jacket will be fabricated at the Heerema yard in Vlissingen in, the Netherlands. Jacket procurement will start in the autumn, and construction is set to start at the beginning of 2024.

The Munin jacket weighs 5.800 tonnes. The height is 130 meters, and it will be installed at a water depth of 105 meters. Eight piles of 60 meters will be used to secure the jacket to the seabed. Installation is planned for 2025, and Aker BP has secured lifting capacity for all the installations in the Yggdrasil area.

“We have now secured the execution plan for the Munin jacket from the start of engineering to installation. Heerema will also be responsible for installing the jacket under a separate contract between Aker BP and Heerema Marine Contractors. Well done to all involved,” says Peter Kupka.
