Sembmarine clarifies scope of work for Johan Castberg FPRSO

Module integration and completion are not part of its responsibilities.

Sembcorp Marine (Sembmarine) provided clarification on the Johan Castberg hull project, laying out its scope of work.

According to Sembmarine, its work for the Johan Castberg Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel comprises the construction of the hull and living quarters and installation of the turret supplied by its customer, Equinor. Construction of the topside modules, module integration, and completion are not part of the company's scope of work. Equinor intends to perform the former in Norway.

The company adds the work on the hull and the living quarters were in the advanced stage when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, resulting in various work restrictions which caused delays in the project. During the hull construction, variations and additions to the scope of work were added, requiring additional time to complete. Sembmarine's remaining work is small relative to the base scope and variations that have been completed.

Presently, the Johan Castberg hull and living quarters are almost complete. However, due to the available transportation window for the towing operations to Norway, Equinor has requested that the company plan the remaining scope of work to accommodate the towing window.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
