ABB and Aker Solutions are expanding a strategic alliance agreement for seabed solutions for oil and gas from 2016 to accelerate technology development for offshore wind power and offshore fish farming.<\/p>\n
The collaboration will also support more efficient design and fabrication and more sustainable operation and maintenance of such facilities.<\/p>\n
The partners said that, like the existing agreement, the extension is not exclusive. <\/p>\n
The updated agreement now covers electrical and control for seabed solutions and offshore wind, power-from-shore and electrical, instrumentation, control and telecommunications for offshore aquaculture.<\/p>\n
Aker Solutions executive vice president of customers and strategy Anders Hannevik said: Our close and good relationship with ABB over several years has created sustainable innovation in both oil and gas and new technologies for renewables in close collaboration with common customers.<\/p>\n
We look forward to building on the good cooperation developed over several years to develop new technologies and systems for sustainable aquaculture facilities and low-carbon, energy-efficient solutions for the energy transition.<\/p>\n
ABB in Norway local division manager for energy industries Tor Ove Lussand said: We have had a close, good, and fruitful collaboration with Aker Solutions for several years which has created success for both parties and joint customers.<\/p>\n
We look forward to an expanded collaboration that will accelerate technological development for the energy transition and aquaculture facilities with economies of scale and greater sustainability.<\/p>\n
The world needs more renewable energy to decarbonise and seafood that is produced in a more sustainable way.<\/p>\n
