The Final Notice to Proceed for Norfolk Vanguard West & East projects

Since November 2023, Aker Solutions has been engaged in the Norfolk Vanguard West and East projects under a limited notice to proceed. The transition to full notice to proceed reflects the consortium’s progress and highlights Aker Solutions’ commitment to driving the global energy transition.

“We are proud to be a key partner in this important energy project, which represents a significant source of renewable energy and a major step in Europe’s energy transformation,” stated Sturla Magnus, Executive Vice President for Aker Solutions’ New Build segment. “The project also aligns with Aker Solutions’ strategy to expand our activities in renewables and energy transition projects, reinforcing our position as a leader in sustainable energy solutions.”

What is a notice to proceed?

A Notice to Proceed (NTP) is a formal document issued by the project owner directing the contractor to commence the construction works. It is typically issued upon the Final Investment Decision by the owner and marks the transition from the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase to a construction/delivery phase.
