(GPA) collaborative efforts are delivering results for customers in North America. Rolls- Royce and GPA most recent- ly teamed up to provide a highly innovative design and power & propulsion systems integration solution for two PSVs for Jackson Offshore Operators. Delivery of the Þ rst two GPA 675J PSVs, currently under construction at BAE SystemsÕ shipyard in Jacksonville, Florida, will be made in 2014. The option for two additional vessels of the same type was exercised earlier this year. GPA handled the over- all design, regulatory and class approval, and production engineering, while Rolls- Royce is delivering the power and propulsion system equipment and complete systems integration on each vessel. The Rolls-Royce scope of sup- ply includes Azipull propulsion thrusters, tunnel thrusters and a Low-Voltage Active Front End Diesel Electric Power System and complete systems integration courtesy of an advanced Acon automation system, an Icon Dynamic Po- sitioning (DP-2) system as well as Òstart-to-Þ nishÓ project management including on-site advisory services, planning and commissioning. The fundamental approach of bring- ing owner, shipyard, designer, and systems integrator to the table early in the planning effort is a core principle of GPAÕs design approach, thus maximizing value to its cli- ents and partners.
