Syncrolift wins naval ship transfer system contract
Syncrolift AS has been awarded a contract from thyssenkrupp Marine Systems to upgrade a current ship transfer system that will be used for submarines, including the Norwegian navy’s newbuild submarines.
Under the contract, Syncrolift will deliver the technology that enables an upgrade of the existing static transfer system for submarines, into a state-of-the-art fluid bed system. A Syncrolift fluid bed system protects ships and equipment from all loads arising from landside transfer and shiplift launching.
The total contract value, including options, is approximately EUR 5 million. Should all options be exercised, deliveries will be made in different batches between 2024 and 2028.
“Our fluid bed technology eliminates any unwanted load during transfer and launching and thereby protect ships and equipment. We are delighted that thyssenkrupp Marine Systems has chosen this safe and highly flexible solution,” says Rolf-Atle Tomassen, managing director of Syncrolift AS.
Syncrolift is the world's leading manufacturer of shiplifts and transfer systems and has supplied such systems to a substantial number of naval shipyards worldwide.
“Syncrolift is the only shiplift manufacturer with experience from providing total solutions for submarine handling, including lifts and transfer systems. We have supported thyssenkrupp on several similar projects in the past, so we are well aware of their project execution approach and stringent quality requirements. We look forward to contributing towards a successful project,” says Ole Falk
Hansen, CEO of Nekkar ASA.
