The contract value is approximately 700 MSEK and deliveries will take place from the end of 2017 and during first half of 2018. 

"We are proud to have been selected as the umbilical tube supplier for this prestigious contract which confirms our position as the leading producer of steel tubes for umbilicals”, says Michael Andersson, Head of Product Area Tube within Sandvik Materials Technology.
