Aibels yard in Laem Chabang Norwegian Aibel has decided to move the construction of the biggest module of their Troll A project from their yard in Norway to their yard in Thailand. The 4,500 ton module represents 2,000 full-time equivalents, and is part of a 2.7 billion NOK contract with Statoil to upgrade their Troll A platform with three new modules with a total weight of 6.800 ton. It was Aibels intension to build all three modules in Norway and have the steelwork delivered from subcontractors in Poland.
