New orders for Scana

This is the third STX AH11 vessel that is ordered by Norskan in Brazil, representative of Norwegian shipowner DOF ASA, all of which will be equipped with Scana Volda propulsion system. In the past, Scana has delivered equipment to a number of vessels built by STX and Norskan in Brazil.

Scana has manufactured propulsion system for 35 vessels that operate offshore Brazil. Such large operations require a high level of after-sales and service activities, including presence by local service stations and access to Scana’s pool of technicians.

In addition, Scana Industrier ASA has, through its subsidiary Scana Zamech in Poland, taken a contract with Gdansk shiprepair yard Remontowa S.A. for delivery of tunnel thrusters for two (+two) supply vessels for Ezra Holdings, Singapore. The delivery for each vessel includes four controllable pitch thrusters with remote control and drive systems that comply with DP requirements. The tunnel thruster systems will be delivered to the yard in the second, third and fourth quarter 2011.

Scana Zamech has also won two contracts with Northern Shipyard in Gdansk for propulsion system for a SAR-vessel for Polish Maritime Search and Rescue Service. The system includes two controllable pitch propellers at diameter 1,700mm with shaft-line accessories and one fixed pitch propeller of a diameter 1,700mm with shaft-line accessories. The propulsion system will be delivered in May 2011.

Gross value of orders are 46 million NOK (€5.8 million), including options at 9 million NOK (€1.1 million).
