Katoni Engineering has been awarded a three-year contract by BUMI Armada to deliver integrated engineering, procurement and construction services for the Armada Kraken FPSO in the UK North Sea.
The award reinforces Katoni's growing reputation as a delivery partner within the mature North Sea basin, where operators - including BUMI - continue to prioritise brownfield optimisation, asset integrity and production reliability across ageing infrastructure.
Under the agreement, Katoni will provide a fully integrated EPC solution covering multi-discipline engineering, procurement, brownfield topside modifications and offshore construction supervision. The scope also incorporates rope-access interventions and comprehensive QA/QC oversight, supporting safe execution, regulatory compliance and operational continuity across the Armada Kraken.
The contract will see Katoni's engineering and project management teams working alongside BUMI’s operations team to execute modifications within a live production environment, with a clear focus on minimising downtime and maintaining production efficiency. The decision to award the contract was understood to reflect Katoni's experience in complex brownfield delivery and offshore construction management.
The contract builds on work already delivered by Katoni in the North Sea and further strengthens its presence across the UK Continental Shelf. The company continues to position itself as a single-source EPC partner capable of managing projects through the full lifecycle - supporting operators with safe, compliant and cost-effective delivery.
With continued investment from BUMI in sustaining and enhancing its offshore asset base, this award marks a further step in Katoni Engineering's expansion within the UK offshore energy sector.
