Jotron has entered into a contract with Teekay Offshore Partners. In strong competition with other players, Jotron won the contract for supplying PAGA, PABX and LAN networks and entertainment for the conversion of the shuttle tanker Randgrid.
The Jotron PAGA system will be supplied in July 2015 and installed onboard the tanker during its conversion to a FSO for the Gina Krog field. The new and converted Teekay unit to be supplied to Gina Krog will function as a storage and offtake vessel.
Jotron has an extensive and flexible range of electronic products that are carefully designed and built for harsh maritime and offshore environments. Recently, the company won several contracts to supply its equipment to fixed installations and floaters in the North Sea and Brazil, as well as larger contracts in the Asian markets for both ship installations and drilling units.
Jotron maritime and energy division marketing director Rolf Andreas Wallin said: "This contract confirms that Jotron is the preferred PAGA supplier for Teekay. Jotron appreciates that Teekay is working towards a safe and sustainable energy future, and does not stand for ‘good enough’ or ‘second-best’. Knowing this confirms the quality and competitiveness of Jotron’s products. We are proud to be Teekay’s communication partner for this project."
Teekay procurement lead Morten Falck said: "Jotron is very enthusiastic, competent and offers high-end and user-friendly solutions."
