"The two companies will identify the most suitable opportunities to create value for customers by integrating Saipem's assets, resources and expertise in engineering, procurement, construction and installation of subsea infrastructures with those of Aker Solutions in subsea systems and technologies", reads the note .
According to Stefano Cao, Chief Executive Officer of Saipem, “thanks to the cooperation with Aker Solutions, customers will have access to a wealth of complementary resources and capabilities right from the early stages of the project. This joint effort will contribute to the efficient development of submarine projects."
“We will collaborate with Saipem on targeted projects, creating integrated solutions that will allow our customers to get the maximum benefit from their Upstream investments, reduce development times and lower operating costs,” said Luis Araujo, CEO of Aker Solutions.
