Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has on Wednesday won orders worth $150m to supply 98 marine engines for 15 drillships, Seatrade Asia online reports. Buyers for the HiMSEN marine engines include Noble Drilling Holding and Diamond Offshore Drilling, according to HHI.
A drillship typically needs between six to eight marine engines to generate power for the thrusters, which keep the drillship in position while operating.
Since its first HiMSEN engine was commercialised in 2001, HHI has achieved an aggregated production of 5,000 such engines, accounting for 35% of the world's medium speed marine engine markets.
