The latest order for Rolls-Royce follows the delivery to Island Offshore of the first well-intervention vessel, Island Wellserver, in March this year.
The new 130m-long UT 767CDL vessel offers single cabins for 97 crew members and is said to meet cruise ship standards for noise and vibration.
Jørn Heltne, Rolls-Royce vice-president ship technology – offshore, said: ‘Island Offshore’s decision to once again choose Rolls-Royce design and equipment in this highly specialised segment is a vote of confidence both in our products and our people.’
The vessel, to be delivered in 2011, will be built at Aker Yards,
In addition to design, Rolls-Royce will also deliver four main engines, propulsion, deck machinery and automation systems.
The contract brings the total number of Rolls-Royce UT Design offshore vessels under construction worldwide to 120. Around 650 of these ships have been built or ordered since the mid-1970s.
