Omega Subsea announced the awarding of a contract to Norwegian ROV manufacturer Kystdesign for the delivery of 12 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems, scheduled for 2026. The agreement includes an option for an additional 10 ROV systems, with deliveries planned for 2027 and 2028, according to the company's release.
Of the initial 12 systems, eight are designated to support various vessel and subsea operations for Solstad, while the remaining four are allocated to undisclosed clients.
Trond Berge, CEO of Omega Subsea, stated: “This contract ensures we are well-positioned for the workload we see coming over the next few years.”
The investment aligns with Omega Subsea’s strategy to enhance long-term capacity and operational flexibility, aiming to reduce lead times and increase availability in response to client needs.
Each ROV unit will be designed to meet the complex demands of deepwater operations, focusing on performance, efficiency, and reliability.
The new systems are expected to enhance Omega Subsea’s ability to support larger-scale and longer-term projects in both existing and new markets.
