Jumbo Offshore Vice President Roddy Lafontaine said the installation contract involves the initial pre-lay of the mooring system and the subsequent tow and hook-up of the floating production and storage unit (FPS).

The Vito development is owned by Shell Offshore (63.1 per cent) and Statoil USA (36.8 per cent).
