Rolls-Royce has been awarded two contracts to design and equip seven vessels for Brazilian ship owner Navegação São Miguel Ltd. The contracts, for four oil spill recovery vessels and three bunker tankers, are worth GBP 23 million to Rolls-Royce. The Rolls-Royce designed UT 535 E Oil Spill Response Vessels (OSRV) will be equipped to prevent environmental damage from oil spills and have the capacity to transfer recovered oil for proper onshore disposal. Rolls-Royce will also design and equip three bunker tankers, which will be a new NVC 604 BT design and will supply fuel to ships offshore. All seven vessels will be equipped with advanced Rolls-Royce technology to support effective maneuvering, cargo handling and safe operation. All vessels will be delivered before the end of 2014.
