LONDON (Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC said Tuesday it has won a GBP50 million contract to deliver deck machinery for four large anchor handlers for Edison Chouest Offshore.
Rolls-Royce said the vessels are designed by North American Shipbuilder Inc and will be built in Brazil by Estaleiro Navship LTDA.
The vessels have been developed to operate specifically in Brazilian waters under an eight-year contract with Petrobras, though they will meet all demands for world-wide operations, said the FTSE 100-listed company.
The deck machinery delivered by Rolls-Royce will include low pressure high torque winches, stern rollers, anchor handling cranes and anchor launch and recovery systems. All mechanical, hydraulic and electric systems are included in the package, said the aircraft engine and marine propulsion maker.
First delivery will take place in March 2015, the last in January 2017.
Last month the company won a deal worth about GBP35 million to design and equip a large offshore support vessel for Norwegian ship owner Island Offshore.
