Wartsila and Emerson has formed an alliance to deliver integrated energy and automation systems for FPSO vessels and semi-submersible oil and gas drilling rigs. Combined, they offer a single point for serving the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) segment. The two companies say they can now offer all system engineering, purchase, installations, commissioning and servicing for this market. "The global sourcing and supply required in FPSO construction amplify the importance of the expert engineering and project management that our alliance makes available," said Jaakko Eskola, Group Vice President, Wartsila Ship Power: "The Emerson and Wartsila enhanced alliance delivers efficiency, true system integration, turnkey delivery and extended engineering services. We will also enable smooth tanker conversion and commissioning at the site, effectively delivering first oil rapidly at the highest speed. The expanded alliance provides a strong local presence in the most dominant areas of oil and gas exploration around the globe". "This world-wide capability ensures that single-stop service is closer to the customer," commented Tom Snead, President of the Emerson systems and solutions division: "The comprehensive project and engineering capabilities provide unique advantages for builders, owners, and operators in the marine industry by reducing risk in their capital intensive projects".
