Wärtsilä to design and power four new offshore support vessels for Malaysian owner
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 8 April 2013 at 9.30 am EET
Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, has
been awarded a major contract to design a series of four multi-purpose platform
support vessels (MPSVs) for Armada Offshore MPSV Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bumi Armada Berhad, a Malaysian-based international offshore
oilfield services provider and also the largest owner and operator of offshore
support vessels in Malaysia. Wärtsilä will also supply a comprehensive solutions
package for each of the vessels. The vessels will be built by a subsidiary
of Nam Cheong Limited, Malaysia's largest Offshore Support Vessels builder, in
one of its subcontracted yards, Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Ltd, in China. The
Wärtsilä contract with Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Ltd yard was signed in March
2013.
For each of the four vessels, this comprehensive solution contract comprises the
basic customized design, the main power generation system, the propulsion
system, the Wärtsilä Low Loss Concept (LLC) electrical system and the automation
system. The order follows the successful execution of a similar MPSV order in
2011 for Bumi Armada Berhad featuring a Wärtsilä ship design and fully
integrated Wärtsilä machinery, electrics and automation.
The unique WSD 1000 design is tailored to meet the specific requirements and
operational modes demanded in complex off shore applications. At the same time,
the interfaces during the building process and detailing stage greatly benefit
from both the design and the machinery being from the same supplier, Wärtsilä.
The single supplier concept also reduces the time and costs associated with the
procurement and logistics procedures, while easing typical project completion
concerns.
"The synergistic benefits provided by Wärtsilä in supplying a comprehensive and
fully integrated package, including the ship design, highly efficient propulsion
machinery, and state-of-the-art automation systems, add real value for the
customer. Our capabilities as a trusted partner in developing total solutions
concepts is again highlighted with this valuable order," says Magnus Miemois,
Vice President, Wärtsilä Ship Power, Solutions.
Wärtsilä Ship Design has a strong global presence with operations in 10
countries. In line with the company's strategy, Wärtsilä Ship Design's global
operations align the company closer to the needs of its customers, including
both owners and shipyards. The company's design capabilities mean that Wärtsilä
is able to enter into dialogue with customers at an earlier stage, which results
in offering more competitive solutions.
