On 1 December 2025, Subsea7 announced it had won a sizeable decommissioning contract from Ithaca Energy for off-station services on the Alba floating storage unit (FSU) and the FPF-1 production facility at the Greater Stella field, around 230 km east of Aberdeen.

The decommissioning scope covers flushing of subsea pipelines, the provision of diver support vessel services, and seabed clearance operations.

Project management and engineering will start immediately from Subsea7’s Aberdeen office, while offshore activities are scheduled to commence in Q2 2026.

Hani El Kurd, Senior Vice President UK and Global Inspection, Repair and Maintenance at Subsea7, said the award allows the company to draw on its three decades of decommissioning expertise, with a focus on delivering safe and effective work.

He also noted the longstanding relationship between Subsea7 and Ithaca Energy, which began in 2008, and said the parties plan to work closely together throughout the project.

Subsea7 defines a “sizeable” contract as one with a value between $50 million and $150 million.
