Valmet to supply automation for Mols-Linien's RoPax vessel built by Rauma Marine Constructions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on March 14, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply automation for Mols-Linien's RoPax vessel built by Rauma
Marine Constructions (RMC).
The order was included in Valmet's fourth quarter of 2016 orders received. The
value of the order will not be disclosed. The delivery will take place in
December 2017.
The order was placed by Telesilta, a Finnish marine electrical contracting
company, which will integrate Valmet's automation system into the other systems
on the vessel. In the past, Telesilta and Valmet have cooperated closely on many
marine projects, for example, the automation of the harbor icebreaker Ahto, the
commuter vessel Otava and the oil recovery vessel Hylje.
"We are pleased to be the main contractor of the electrical systems and their
installation on the Mols-Linien RoPax vessel. As the first new-build project for
RMC, it is extremely important for both of us to carry out the project well,
from the project start all the way until the end of the warranty period. Since
we have successfully cooperated with Valmet in the past and have good experience
with the Valmet DNA system in earlier projects, Valmet was a natural choice for
us as an integrated automation system supplier," says Niko Karlsson, Project
Engineer, Telesilta.
Vessel optimized for the Baltic Sea
The 158-meter-long RoPax (roll-on/roll-off passenger) vessel will be built at
the Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) shipyard in Rauma, Finland. Designed and
