Alstom Selected By

Otto Candies

Alstom won contract to supply electri- cal systems for a vessel being built for

Otto Candies by the de Hoop shipyard in the Netherlands. The order includes a simplex dynamic positioning (DP) sys- tem from Altsom's 'A' series, plus manu- al thrusters controls and an independent joystick, for the NB400 offshore support vessel for Otto Candies, which is to be built at the Dutch shipyard.

This DP order comes on the back of an earlier contract for the same vessel, to supply variable speed drives from

Alstom's MV3000 liquid cooled range, plus transformers and motors for the two main 900kW azimuth thrusters. Two of

Otto Candies' diving support vessels built by de Hoop — Caballo de Mar and

Caballo de Trabajo — are now in ser- vice, having been fitted with Alstom duplex dynamic positioning and electric propulsion equipment. Alstom is also supplying similar equipment for Otto

Candies vessels to be built at Houma

Fabricators-Shipyard de Hoop in

Louisiana and the Bender Shipbuilding and Repair Company in Mobile, Alaba- ma. "Otto Candies is among the growing number of vessel operators realizing the benefits that a diesel electric solution brings, such as fuel efficiency and installation flexibility," said Paul Eng- lish, Offshore Sales Manager. "The combination of our new liquid cooled marine drives and DP systems is prov- ing to be an economical alternative in the highly competitive market of work boats and Platform Supply Vessels."
