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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
