Rolls-Royce has signed a GBP 11 million contract with Spanish shipyard Gondan for a wave-piercing offshore vessel to be delivered to Simon Møkster Shipping in Norway.

The vessel is designed to pierce through waves under harsh weather conditions, making it possible to keep a more constant speed, reduce the use of fuel and increase onboard safety, the global power systems company said.
It is specifically developed for missions in the arctic region and will be equipped to undertake oil spill recovery and fire-fighting duties.
The delivery from Rolls-Royce includes an extensive range of advanced equipment, such as Azipull propellers, thrusters, DP2 system, the latest generation of automation and control systems including the Unified Bridge, automated sea fastening system to secure deck cargo and a dry bulk system, the company said.
This is the second vessel of this design ordered by Simon Møkster Shipping; the first is being scheduled for delivery from Gondan in August and the second in the course of 2016.
