Rolls-royce Wins Order To Supply Maneuverability Systems For Kgjs

摘要

Rolls-Royce won a $17.4 million order to supply fuel efficient maneuverability systems for four new cement carrying vessels. The order includes the Promas integrated propeller and rudder system, steering gear, tunnel thrusters and deck machinery. In addition, it will also supply switchboards, automation systems and an integrated bridge. Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Group (KGJS) was looking for a system solution -as oppose to purchasing seperate products- that would "deliver greater benefits in terms of quality, performance and environmental impact," according to Geir Bj0rkeli, Director of Systems Sales for Rolls-Royce. The Promas can increase propulsion efficiency by four to six percent.
