Rolls-Royce has secured an
£8 million contract to design and power a highly specialised buoy tender vessel
for India.
The vessel will be operating
in remote waters off the east coast of India and around the Andaman &
Nicobar Islands maintaining and replacing navigational aids and buoys, says
Rolls Royce. The vessel will be built at the Cochin Shipyard Ltd. in India, and is
due for delivery in 2015.
The buoy tender vessel is a
Rolls-Royce UT 755 S, which is a development of the well proven UT 755 series.
In addition to the design, Rolls-Royce will also supply the main engines,
propulsion system, automation and control system, deck machinery and shaft
generators.
Cochin Shipyard Ltd. has
previously built over 20 Rolls-Royce designed vessels.
