Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading systems integrator, has been awarded the
contract to supply an integrated solution for power generation, power
distribution, and propulsion for a new Diving Support & Construction Vessel
(DSCV) currently under construction in Singapore.
The order has been placed by Keppel Singmarine, the Singapore based builder of
the vessel. The contract includes the vessel's main power generation system, the
Wärtsilä Low Loss Concept full electric and automation system, and a complete
integrated propulsion system. The vessel will operate on marine diesel oil

ship is scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2013.
The vessel will be owned and operated by the Dutch public company SBM Offshore
N.V., the holding company of a group of international, marine technology

oil and gas industry by supplying engineered products, vessels and systems, and
offshore oil and gas production services.
The system features the patented Low Loss Concept and the ECOMeter, which is
part of the Wärtsilä Integrated Automation System. This estimates fuel
consumption and advises on the optimal means of operating the vessel in order to
save fuel and the environment. "Our expert know-how on efficient systems with
maximum redundancy is the key to our success in ship systems. Customers value
