Aker standardising on FORAN system

Aker Yards ASA has entered into a contract with the Spanish company Sener Ingenier?a y Sistemas S.A. for the implementation of FORAN System across the group’s shipbuilding organization.

FORAN is already operating successfully at seven sites of the Norwegian shipbuilding group and, based on the experience using FORAN so far, Aker has decided to extend the cooperation with Sener by making a FORAN Frame Contract for future investments into CAD/CAM shipbuilding solutions.

Currently, Aker owns more than 350 licenses of the main FORAN packages (Hull Structure and Outfitting). As a first consequence of this new contract, FORAN is being implemented in Aker Yards, Promar, a Brazilian shipyard located in Niteroi. Services to be provided by Sener include installation, training as well as maintenance and support.
