LONDON--Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN), said Friday it had
orders from a variety of international customers for its offshore
ship designs and equipment worth more than 60 million pounds ($101
million).
The contracts, which include five Rolls-Royce UT design vessels
and propulsion equipment packages for research and seismic survey
vessels, were announced at the Offshore Technology Conference in
Houston, Texas, the company said.
"We are delighted to be able to announce a range of contracts
with our offshore customers, demonstrating not only the continuing
popularity of our own UT vessel design, now in its 40th year, but
also our ability to work closely with other designers in providing
sophisticated systems ideally suited to their own designs," said
John Knudsen, Rolls-Royce president offshore.
Rolls-Royce shares closed Thursday at GBP10.13, valuing the
company at GBP19.05 billion.
