Alewijnse secures another Asian order

The company’s most recent contract is with Jumbo Maritime and includes electrical service support for the offshore transportation and installation vessels Jumbo Fairpartner and material supply for Jumbo Jubilee.

Support work onboard the heavy load carrier, Jumbo Fairpartner, consisted of solving software issues, while for the heavy lift and installation vessels, Jumbo Jubilee, Alewijnse supplied batteries and other electrical components.

Over the years, Alewijnse has played a significant role in the building of the series of four vessels for Jumbo Maritime, of which Jumbo Jubilee was the fourth. First to be delivered was Jumbo Javelin, followed by Jumbo Fairpartner in 2003 and by a third vessel, Jumbo Fairplayer, in the summer of 2008. Jumbo Jubilee was delivered in 2009.

Alewijnse says the latest Jumbo contract validates its strategy to supply electro-technical services to shipyards and operators in South-East Asia. Singapore and Malaysia represent a significant opportunity for the company as the offshore market in the region expands rapidly.
