RR buoyed by Indian tender order

摘要

Rolls-Royce has secured an ￡8M (S13M) contract to design and power a highly specialised buoy tender vessel for India. It will operate off the east coast of India and around the Andaman and Nicobar islands maintaining and replacing navigational aids and buoys. The vessel will be built at the Cochin Shipyard in India and is scheduled for delivery in 2015. The buoy tender vessel is a Rolls-Royce UT 755 S, a development of the UT 755 series, and is designed to operate safely in the most challenging conditions. In addition to the design, Rolls-Royce will also supply the main engines, propulsion system, automation and control system, deck machinery and shaft generators.
