22 July 2010 - Aker Solutions has won a contract with Eni Norge for the design
and supply of an on-vessel Pusnes mooring system(TM) for the Goliat FPSO. The
total contract value for Aker Solutions is approximately NOK 150 million.

The contract consists of 14 Pusnes fairlead chain stoppers(TM) and three
moveable Pusnes windlasses(TM) for 165 mm chain size. The hull for the
round-shaped production unit (FPSO) will be built in South-Korea. After
completion, the FPSO will be located at the Goliat field in the Barents Sea.

Aker Solutions has developed the fairlead chain stopper design, which is an
innovative on-vessel mooring solution with several advantages. The fairlead
chain stopper constrains the mooring load to a limited area on the hull. Its
long, pivoting stopper arm reduces chain wear and increases the fatigue life of
the chain. The design eliminates the need for reinforcements at the deck level
thereby decreasing the overall weight.

Leif Haukom, president of Aker Solutions' offshore mooring systems business,
commented: "We are proud to be selected as maker of the on-vessel mooring
equipment for the first production unit made for the Barents Sea. This contract
underlines Aker Solutions' strong position for mooring systems to installations
in harsh environments, such as the Barents Sea."

The equipment will be manufactured in Norway, Poland and South Korea and the
delivery will take place during 2011. The contract party for Aker Solutions is
Aker Pusnes AS.
