Elcome supplies electrical and electronic systems to Abu ADSB for newbuilds
Elcome International is supplying electrical switchboards, safety, monitoring and control systems for three vessels under construction at Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), the Company said in a press release.
Elcome, one of the world’s largest marine technology, system integration and service companies, was selected for this new building project after a rigorous technical and commercial evaluation by ADSB. The scope of work included supply, installation and commissioning of main switchboards and electrical systems, bridge and engine room consoles, tank gauging and fire detection systems.
The three vessels are being built for a customer in the Middle East for delivery in 2017.
“These orders from ADSB represent a significant achievement in our growth as a major supplier for newbuilds as well as retrofits, and showcases our engineering and manufacturing capabilities,” said Jimmy Grewal, executive director of Elcome International. “We completed the production and factory acceptance tests (FAT) of the electrical systems in just 43 business days.”

Both ADSB and Elcome are committed to delivering world-class support services and we are happy to be partnering with a team whose customer service is unparalleled in the marine industry.”
