The Wartsila Corporation and the BLRT Group of Estonia are setting up a second joint venture to service ships in the Baltic area. To be owned 51% by Wartsila and 49% by BLRT, the new company will be called Wartsila BLRT Services Klaipeda UAB and will provide a single source of marine service covering all aspects of ship repair, including the servicing of engines, gearboxes, propellers and other ship equipment.
The extremely effective deployment of the Dutch oil spill response vessel Arca at the time of the Prestige disaster demonstrated the expertise available within the country. This expertise is not only available through the Dutch Directorate General for Public Works and Water Management, which owns the Arca, but also at other SRGH members such as Smit Salvage, AVR Industrial Services, Damen Shipyards, IHC Holland, and institutes such as TNO and WL Delft Hydraulics.
