4 June 2009 - Aker Solutions has been awarded three contracts for the
supply of deck machinery to a total of 34 vessels.  The total value
of the contracts for Aker Solutions is approximately MNOK 100.

The contract awards are from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), Korea,
and Dalian Shipyard, China, for the supply of Pusnes electric deck
machinery(TM) and Pusnes hydraulic deck machinery(TM), respectively.
The HHI contract consists of state-of-the-art frequency controlled
electric deck machinery for 4.500 TEU container carriers ordered by a
major European ship owner. Aker Solutions recently secured another
