Skandi Aker Vessel Contract is Canceled by Total

June 25, 2014  Aker Solutions' subsidiary Aker Oilfield Services was notified by
Total in Angola of the termination of a USD 250 million, two-year contract for
the Skandi Aker vessel.

Skandi Aker started operations as a well-intervention vessel for the first time
in September last year when the contract with Total commenced. The value of the
remaining contract period is about USD 150 million and will be removed from the
order backlog.

The vessel's capacity utilization has been 37 percent so far in 2014 after
operations halted at the end of March for maintenance and repairs.

Aker Solutions will present more information on July 17, when financial results
for the second quarter are released.

Aker Oilfield Services will in September become part of Akastor, an oilfield
services investment company that will be one of two companies formed as part of
the announced separation of Aker Solutions. All financial consequences of the
termination will be assumed and accounted for by the Akastor group.
