AF Offshore Decom has signed a contract with Ithaca Energy for decommissioning work in the UK sector of the North Sea
The contract scope includes the engineering receipt, cleaning, dismantling and recycling of a FSU weighing approximately 24,000 metric tons.
Lars Myhre Hjelmeset, EVP Offshore at AF Gruppen, said, “We are very pleased to have been awarded a second major contract by Ithaca Energy following the award of the FPF-1 asset in December 2025. As a result of the awards, AF Environmental Base Vats will receive close to 50,000 tons of floating production and storage facilities from Ithaca energy in 2026.
“The two units will, after initial preparations, be loaded onto our yard in a combined gloat over and load in operation, consistent with earlier similar projects at AFEBV. The units will be cleaned, dismantled and thereafter the steel will be repurposed, upcycled and recycled creating several circular material solutions for the agriculture, construction and civil industries in the Nordic region.”
The contract has been valued in the range of NOK350-400mn (approximately US$36-41mn).
