Aker Solutions has confirmed the arrival of the Hugin A living quarters module at its Stord yard in Norway, following a safe journey from Leirvik AS. With this module now in place, all major components for the Hugin A platform have arrived, marking a significant milestone in the overall construction process. According to Aker Solutions, the delivery of the living quarters means “Hugin A is growing by the day.”

Hugin A will serve as the central hub for the Yggdrasil field, operated by Aker BP ASA. The 6-deck living quarters is a critical part of the platform, designed to support crew operations. The topside modules for Hugin A are being assembled at Stord, with deliveries coming from multiple yards in Norway and internationally. Now that the living quarters have been delivered, all major structural modules are in place, setting the stage for the final assembly.

Earlier reports described Hugin A as the largest topside ever to be built at Stord. Construction began after Aker Solutions and its partners secured a NOK 50 billion contract with Aker BP in December 2022. The first steel was cut for the project in September 2023. The recent handover of the living quarters marks another step forward in one of Norway’s most ambitious offshore projects.
