The contract covers the engineering, procurement, fabrication, inspection, testing & commissioning, weighing, loadout and seafastening of the Living Quarters. The contract scope also undertakes the supply and fabrication of ship-loose materials for offshore hook-up and commissioning (including commissioning and start-up spares) within and between the new Accommodation Module, new Helideck and existing Utilities Module.
