Equipment Delivery Took Place on Monday (05/27) and Aker Solution Wants 30% of Revenue from the Paraná Unit to Come from Exports

At a ceremony held last Monday (05/27) at the Aker Solution factory in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, the Executive Vice President of Products at Aker Solution, Maria Peralta, stated after the delivery of a Wet Christmas Tree (WCT) to Equinor, that she expects the unit to achieve 30% of its revenue from exports in the next five years.

The contract between Aker and Equinor provides for the delivery of 124 subsea equipment modules for the company’s use in the Norwegian sea, valued at R$ 1.7 billion, with R$ 100 million having been brought by Aker to the Brazilian factory in São José dos Pinhais.

The company’s vice president is optimistic about exports and even with demand increasing here in the domestic market, she wants the factory in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, to maintain a third of its production in revenue.
To achieve this, Aker is already negotiating orders from Africa and others from Norway and always aims to increase local content, given that Equinor’s project included 80% national content in the manufacturing of the control systems (subsea control modules, SCM).

Aker opened the São José dos Pinhais unit in 2016 and is one of the two global technology centers of the company, alongside another plant located in Malaysia.
The wet Christmas trees (WCTs) developed by Aker in Paraná are low-cost and very versatile, being up to 30% more competitive in terms of price.

Aker is developing this project together with Shell and Petrobras, with the expectation that it will be ready in two years and will also be used in the domestic market.

The Paraná Factory

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Brazil’s external debt rises to US$ 416.976 billion in April, says Central Bank, while investments in stocks see an inflow of nearly US$ 1 billion.

While millions receive Bolsa Família, thousands of Chinese arrive to work in Brazil, exposing the uncomfortable debate about qualification, productivity, employment, and dependence on public money.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

The first ammonia-powered cargo ship has already been realized with a capacity of 46,000 m³, dual-fuel engine, and a promise to cut carbon in heavy maritime transport.
