- Wartsila-Normed Joint Venture To Manufacture Diesels In France Maritime Reporter, Aug 15, 1985 #13
The French Chantiers du Nord et de la Mediterranee (Normed) and the Finnish Wartsila Group have recently founded a joint venture company for manufacture of Wartsila Diesel Division's medium-speed heavy-fuel engines at Normed's La Ciotat shipyard. The new company, called Wartsila Diesel Normed SA, will manufacture Wartsila Vasatype engines for France and some other territories. The Wartsila- Normed joint venture will launch a new generation of French-made heavy-fuel engines on the market.
Production at the factory has already started and the first engines have been delivered. The joint venture company also has a large number of engines on order, among them six Wartsila Vasa 6R22 HF engines for the two wind cruisers ordered by Circle Line of US at the ACH Le Havre shipyard in France.
Wartsila Diesel Normed is the fifth Wartsila Diesel engine factory.
The other four production plants are located in Finland, Sweden and Singapore. The new company will also be supported by the worldwide sales and service network of Wartsila Diesel.
Normed was founded in 1982 after three shipyards, Chantiers de France Dunkerque (FDK), Chantiers Navals de La Ciotat (CNC) and Constructions Navales et Industrielles de la Mediterranee, (CNIM) merged. The group has three shipyards: one on the North Sea coast at Dunkirk and the others on the Mediterranean coast at La Ciotat and La Seyne.
Wartsila Diesel specializes in pur- pose-designed heavy-fuel diesel engines for propulsion and auxiliary installations on different types of vessels and also for power generation on offshore drilling rigs and in land-based installations. The Wartsila Diesel heavy-fuel engine-types are the Vasa 32 and 22HF covering an output range from 560 to 6,750 kw (760-1,980 hp) in a speed range of 720 to 1,200 rpm.
