19 May 2009 - Aker Solutions has been awarded two contracts for
Petrobras' P-55 project in Brazil for the design and supply of an
Aker Solutions' Pusnes offshore mooring system(TM) and a Pusnes riser
pull-in system(TM). The total contract value for Aker Solutions is
approximately NOK 130 million.

The contracts consist of 16 roller RamWinches(TM) and several
specially designed winches and wire routing system for a semi
production unit owned by Petrobras PN BV. The semi production unit
will be built at the new Rio Grande shipyard in Brazil. After
completion it will be located on the Roncador Field offshore Brazil.

Aker Solutions has developed the Pusnes RamWinch(TM) design which is
an innovative, cost effective, on-vessel mooring solution. The
RamWinch(TM) combines low weight with high pulling capacity thereby
reducing overall cost for the client. The first Pusnes offshore
mooring winches(TM) were delivered in the late 1960's to
semisubmersible drilling rigs. Today Aker Solutions has established
itself as one of the world's leading suppliers of deepwater offshore
mooring systems.

Leif Haukom, President of Aker Solutions offshore mooring systems
unit, commented: "We are proud to be selected as the maker of these
systems for an important Brazilian client. This contract underlines
Aker Solutions strong position as a preferred supplier of offshore
systems with world wide lifecycle service."

Delivery will take place during 2010.

The contract party is Aker Solutions' subsidiary Aker Pusnes AS.
