Norway: Scana Industrier ASA Lands Big Propulsion Contracts

Scana Propulsion has signed a contract with Havyard Global Solutions for the supply of gear and propeller system with remote control for two standby vessels (Field Support Vessels) to Atlantic Offshore. The ships will be built at Zamakona Shipyards in Spain and the equipment will be delivered in 2Q and 3Q 2013.

The propulsion systems are diesel-mechanical and consists of two gear and propeller systems of the type ACG 62/680 2-speed gear. The contract with Havyard Global Solutions includes an option for system deliveries to two more vessels.

“This is an ideal propulsion solution for this vessel segment that has an operational profile with a large variation in which the operating time is divided between standby mode and full operation mode with very different needs for power. The 2-speed gear system enables optimum driving in both positions, which gives a very environmentally friendly and fuel-saving operation,” says Kristian Saetre.
