New Contract for MT at Turkish Yard
Marine Technologies recently signed contracts for supplying integrated bridge, dynamic positioning and communication systems for Aksoy Shipping Group for a new 246-ft (75 m) PSV featuring a moon pool, large deck crane and accommodation for 60 persons.
Memhet Aksoy, owner of the vessel and shipyard in Gelibolu, Turkey, stated, "In order for us to be competitive in the offshore sector, our vessels must be in the forefront with respect to quality of workmanship and technological solutions. The integrated bridge (IBS) and Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems from MT are the most innovative and functional solutions in the market, whilst at the same time having an impressive track record. Integrated with their VSAT communication solution, an operation and maintenance concept with extensive remote monitoring and diagnostics possibilities will be enabled. For the yard, this means increased cost efficiency through reduced installation as well as commissioning time. As a ship owner this ensures that we will have a very competitive and reliable vessel to offer to our potential clients, with user friendly and robust solutions for the operating crew."
Frode Klepsvik, VP and Business Development Manager, Marine Technologies, added, "MT is very satisfied that Aksoy has chosen our solutions for this project. With Aksoy's strict requirements to robust and cost-efficient solutions, this proves that MT's products and services are relevant and competitive. The project also represents a milestone for MT's efforts in the Turkish market, and we are confident that this will pave the way for additional business opportunities in the region."
Ole M. Husøy, Sales and Design, Marine Technologies, described the project, "The solutions chosen by Aksoy include a full integration of the IBS, DP and satellite communication technologies from MT. As such, this project is representative of the most comprehensive installations that MT does. We are both very happy and humble for the trust that Aksoy have shown in us placing the order for such a complex and complete package with us, and will make sure that we meet the requirements and the expectations."
