Diesel Electric Power for US Platform Supply Vessels
01 Apr 2003
Alstom has won a $20m order to supply the propulsion and control systems for 10 new diesel electric platform supply vessels being built by Bender Shipbuilding & Repair Company of Alabama USA.
Bender awarded Alstom the contract to design, install and commission the fully integrated AC electrical propulsion and control systems for the 210' vessels, which are to be based in the Gulf of Mexico. Alstom will also provide support and training at its technical training facility in Houston, Texas USA.
The equipment to be supplied includes Class II DP systems from Alstom's 'A' Series and vessel control systems as well as switchboards, transformers and AC variable speed drive trains. The switchboards will be built in America, allowing flexibility during the design phases of the project. The first vessel is due to be delivered in March 2004.
