The platform will receive alternating current from wind parks and convert it into direct current before sending it onshore via subsea cables. The platform left Aibel’s yard in Haugesund August 2014. In February 2015, Aibel won the contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of the drilling platform for the Johan Sverdrup field. The construction work is now underway at the company’s yards in Haugesund and Thailand and at partner Nymo's yard at Grimstad, Norway.History
As a trademark and company name, Aibel is relatively new, but the company can look back at over a hundred years of history through companies such as the Electrical Bureau (EB), Haugesund Mekaniske Verksted (HMV), ABB and Umoe. The company has been involved in the development of the oil and gas industry ever since oil was first dicovered under the North Sea. Today, Aibel is an independent company owned by the investment companies Ferd (50 percent), Ratos (32 percent) and the Sixt AP Funds (18 percent). In addition, Aibel owns 40 percent of the Deeline Construction Company, outside Pattaya, Thailand and 50 percent of the EMC (Egyptian Maintenance Company), in Cairo. In recent years, Aibel has become a leading service company also within the offshore wind industry.See also
