Aker Solutions wins offshore loading systems contracts in Brazil

26 May 2011 - Aker Solutions has won two similar contracts, together worth
approx. 120 million NOK, from CQG Oil & Gas Contractors Inc. and CCI Oil & Gas
Contractors Inc., for the supply of Pusnes offloading systems(TM) to two FPSOs
in the Brazilian market.

The offloading systems will be installed on the two FPSOs P-58 and P-62, which
are being converted and built for Petrobras.

The two FPSOs are spread moored FPSOs, and will use the field proven Pusnes
offloading system(TM) at both bow and aft ends. These offloading systems include
tanker mooring and crude oil transfer components as well as emergency offloading
stations. Crude oil from the FPSOs will be loaded on to dedicated dynamic
positioned shuttle tankers. Aker Solutions last year secured the mooring
contracts for the same FPSOs.

The Pusnes offloading system(TM) is recognised by the industry for having
established an environmentally responsible, safe and secure connection from the
FPSO via a crude oil hose to the dynamic positioned shuttle tanker's bow loading
system. In the event of an emergency, the oil flow can be quickly stopped and
the vessels disconnected rapidly and safely.

"Aker Solutions' mooring and loading systems have attained a unique position in
Brazil. We have signed more than a dozen contracts for various clients in
Brazil," says Leif Haukom, head of Aker Solutions' mooring and loading systems
business.

As previously communicated, Aker Solutions is also supplying Pusnes mooring
systems(TM) to P-58 and P-62, under the terms of a contract with Petrobras.

Aker Solutions is focusing on the Brazilian market with a wide range of offshore
technologies and is expanding the local Lifecycle service organisation in
parallel with making new sales.

Delivery of the offshore loading systems to P-58 and P-62 FPSOs will take place
in 2011/2012.
The contract party for Aker Solutions is Aker Pusnes AS.
