AF Offshore Decom has been awarded another decommissioning contract by Ithaca Energy for the dismantling, cleaning, and recycling of the Alba Floating Storage Unit (FSU) from the UK North Sea.

The FSU, weighing approximately 24,000 tonnes, is set to arrive at AF Environmental Base Vats (AFEBV) in 2026. The award follows the FPF-1 contract granted in December 2025, bringing the total volume of Ithaca Energy assets arriving at AFEBV in 2026 to nearly 50,000 tonnes.

Both assets will be prepared, refloated, and loaded in a combined operation, a method AF Offshore Decom said it has successfully executed in several previous projects. At AFEBV, the units will undergo cleaning, dismantling, and responsible material processing. AF Offshore Decom stated that recovered steel will be repurposed, upcycled, and recycled into high-quality circular material solutions for agriculture, construction, and civil engineering industries across the Nordic region.

The company said the contract strengthens its position in sustainable decommissioning solutions and reflects its working relationship with Ithaca Energy. AF Offshore Decom added that its team is ready to start on the new projects.
