AF Gruppen (AFG) has received a letter of award for a contract from Heerema Marine Contractors SE for the engineering and offshore hook-down preparation of Equinor’s Heimdal Main Platform in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
The offshore platform surveys will commence this year, followed by detailed engineering and offshore preparatory works to be performed within the next three years.

“We are very pleased to have been awarded this contract by Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC). In cooperation with both Heerema Marine Contractors and Equinor, we look forward to starting this important work.
