Norcontrol Wins Contracts For Liquid Cargo Control And Monitoring Systems

Norcontrol Automation AS of Norway has been awarded two major contracts valued at NOK 5.5 million (about $687,000) for the supply of monitoring and control systems aboard twin shuttle tankers now being built at the Fredrikstad, Norway, and Dalian, China, Shipyards for Knutsen Shuttle Tank of Haugesund, Norway.

Both vessels are to operate on charter to the Norwegian state oil company, Statoil, for transport of oil between loading buoys in the North Sea Gullfaks Field and various refineries. The Norcontrol systems will enable Knutsen's tankers to computerize their loading/unloading activities, optimize fuel efficiency, and insure continual operational activity.

Norcontrol's experience gained through the first installation of this type, aboard the Norwegian shuttle tanker Jarena, was an important consideration in the award of these contracts, which confirm the company's leading position as supplier of automation systems for advanced shuttle tankers.
