Context

Kosmos Energy awarded SCA a contract for a newly designed 1,000-ton umbilical storage carousel for a Mobile, Alabama subsea project, with delivery in Q4 2026.

Market effects

Sector

Highlights demand for specialized subsea umbilical handling and storage systems, supportive for subsea infrastructure supply chains.
