This marks the company’s second order with Amarinth following the successful delivery of previous pumps and underscores Amarinth's reputation as a trusted partner in highly challenging offshore environments.

The FPSO Agogo, is scheduled to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 as part of the Agogo integrated west hub development project off Angola.

Compliant with the rigorous standards of NORSOK M-630, which dictate material specifications for petrochemical applications, particularly in offshore environments, these pumps deliver the necessary performance and reliability demanded by the project.

This approach to product design reflects Amarinth's commitment to ensuring the long-term operational efficiency of its pumps.

Leveraging its extensive experience in supplying pumps to FPSO vessels worldwide, Amarinth has once again affirmed its status as a preferred partner in critical offshore projects.
Oliver Brigginshaw, Managing Director of Amarinth, remarked, "Securing a second order with this important Norwegian customer, this time for the FPSO Agogo, represents another significant milestone for Amarinth in our commitment to delivering high-performance solutions in the most demanding of environments, particularly within the burgeoning FPSO market.
