Kongsberg Maritime entered into a US$26.5 million contract to supply a complete electrical, instrument and telecom solution, including e-house, for the new Yinson Genesis floating production storage offloading unit (FPSO).

The FPSO contract was awarded by Eni Ghana E&P to a consortium consisting of Yinson Production (West Africa) Pte Ltd. and Yinson Production West Africa Ltd.
