Elomatic designing a new multi-purpose vessel for the Finnish Environmental Administration

Elomatic has signed a design contract with UKI Workboat Ltd for the production design and completion of basic design of a multi-purpose vessel for the Finnish Environmental Administration.

The new multi-purpose vessel will be built by UKI Workboat Ltd and will be used by the Finnish Navy for routine tasks. If necessary, the vessel can also be used in mopping up operations of chemical and oil spills. The multi-purpose vessel will significantly improve Finland ’s disaster prevention capabilities at sea, in particular during ice and bad weather conditions.

The vessel will be delivered in 2011. The agreement covers production design and part of the basic design. Design work will commence at the beginning of 2008 and will continue in part until the vessel is delivered. The contract represents 25 man-years in total.
