Wärtsilä selected best supplier by CNOOC of China - wins award for supplier excellence
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade & Technical Press release, 18 March 2010
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading ship power system integrator, has
received an award for supplier excellence from CNOOC, the China National
Offshore Oil Corporation. After rigorous internal evaluation by project
management teams, 28 Chinese and international vendors participating in nine of
CNOOC's major projects were honoured. Wärtsilä is involved in four of these
projects. This was the first time that CNOOC had arranged such an event to
recognise its best suppliers, and the awards were presented at a ceremony held
in Beijing.
The project for which Wärtsilä received the award involves the construction and
commissioning of the deepwater pipe-laying and crane vessel named Hai Yang Shi
You 201 (HYSY 201). The vessel will be used in the construction and installation
of infrastructure needed to develop offshore deepwater oil & gas fields
worldwide. Wärtsilä supplied the diesel-electric power generation system, as
well as the vessel's steerable thruster-driven positioning system.
For the HYSY 201 project, CNOOC required a reliable supplier to provide both
power and propulsion components. The total solution offered by Wärtsilä features
low rates of fuel consumption and other technical benefits, such as power
reliability and availability. The new pipe-laying and crane vessel is fitted
with dynamic positioning (DP) technology, and Wärtsilä generating sets are well
suited to the varying power demands of electrically-driven DP thrusters.
Other projects involving offshore production facilities in which Wärtsilä has
co-operated with CNOOC during recent years, include the NB 35-2 fixed production
platform (delivered in 2006), the Nanhai FSPO (delivered in 2008), and a
semi-submersible drilling rig (delivery scheduled for 2010).
Commenting on the award, Mr Johan Malm, Director, Project Management, Offshore,
Wärtsilä Ship Power, said: "We enjoy really good co-operation with CNOOC, a key
customer and partner for us in the Chinese offshore market. We firmly believe
that our effective teamwork and excellence in responding to customer needs will
help us develop the relationship with CNOOC further, and we look forward to
continuing this good co-operation that is beneficial to both parties."
Wärtsilä has extensive experience in well-proven and environmentally-sound
technologies for the marine and offshore markets. Solutions employing Wärtsilä
technologies similar to those installed on CNOOC's new pipe-laying and crane
vessel, are currently in use on a large number of offshore vessels.
