Amarinth, a world-leading, net-zero designer and manufacturer of low lifecycle cost centrifugal pumps and associated equipment, primarily for the offshore and onshore oil and gas industries; nuclear and renewable energy generation; defence; desalination; process and industrial markets, announces an order for the FPSO Agogo, currently under construction by Yinson Production and destined for offshore Angola.
The customer, a Norwegian company specialising in energy recovery and water treatment solutions for the offshore oil and gas sector, has placed an order with Amarinth for the FPSO Agogo, currently under construction by Yinson Production in Malaysia. This marks the company’s second order with Amarinth following the successful delivery of previous pumps and underscores Amarinth’s reputation as a trusted partner in highly challenging offshore environments.
The FPSO Agogo, is scheduled to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 as part of the Agogo integrated west hub development project off Angola. With a field development plan encompassing 36 wells, including both production and injection wells, the project demands high-quality solutions to ensure reliable operations.
Amarinth’s bespoke pump design, tailored for low NPSH duties to accommodate the confined headroom aboard FPSO vessels, highlights the company’s agility and expertise in addressing complex challenges. Compliant with the rigorous standards of NORSOK M-630, which dictate material specifications for petrochemical applications, particularly in offshore environments, these pumps deliver the necessary performance and reliability demanded by the project.

This approach to product design reflects Amarinth’s commitment to ensuring the long-term operational efficiency of its pumps.
The customer’s insistence on an aggressive 26-week delivery schedule to align with Yinson’s build timeline reinforces the industry’s recognition of Amarinth’s ability to deliver under pressure. Leveraging its extensive experience in supplying pumps to FPSO vessels worldwide, Amarinth has once again affirmed its status as a preferred partner in critical offshore projects.
