The contract, issued under the existing Long Term Agreement, will include the procurement, transportation, installation, hookup and testing of seven composite cables and corresponding anode sleds.

“McDermott’s history of working with Saudi Aramco spans many years and we are delighted to be working together again on this project,” said Stewart Mitchell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Middle East, Caspian and North Sea for McDermott. “I believe our understanding of Saudi Aramco’s requirements from previous experience, combined with the proven cable laying abilities of the North Ocean 102, will help to ensure the safe and timely delivery of this project.”
