Deliveries of alarm and monitoring systems (ULSTEIN AMS) for 13 tugs have been contracted to Ulstein Power & Control by US based MT. The systems are based on ULSTEIN X-CONNECT™.
The alarm monitoring is a part of Ulstein Power & Control’s expertise in integrated systems, while MT (Marine Technologies LLC) is a maritime expert in areas such as dynamic positioning and navigation systems. The bridge solution on the tugs has been developed by MT.
The amounts of sensors and information available on the vessels increase rapidly, and the control systems must be designed to meet the new, digital reality.
The 13 tugs are being designed by Damen and built in the U.S. at Edison Chouest Offshore yards. The tugs are designed for heavy duty mooring assistance and escort in response to two major contract wins in Texas and Alaska.
Marine Technologies LLC (MT) is head-quartered in Mandeville, Louisiana, with offices in Norway and Brazil. Ulstein Power & Control is a company in Ulstein Group, and is headquartered in Ulsteinvik, Norway.
