艾默生与瓦锡兰公司扩大其全球联盟

HOUSTON, TEXAS (May 7, 2008) -- Wartsila and Emerson Process Management today announce expansion of their powerful global offshore alliance. Under this expansion, they can now deliver integrated energy and automation systems for Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels and semi-submersible oil and gas drilling rigs.

休斯顿5月7日消息——瓦锡兰和艾默生过程管理今天宣布扩大其强大的全球离岸联盟。根据这项扩张，现在他们可以为浮式生产储卸油船和半潜式石油和天然气钻探平台提供综合的能源和自动化系统。

The companies’ expanded relationship combines the process automation knowledge and state-of-the-art measurement and digital automation technology of Emerson, with the high efficiency power-generation, power-distribution and vessel-automation systems and products of Wartsila. Combined, they offer a single point for serving the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) segment. In particular, they can now offer all system engineering, purchase, installations, commissioning and servicing for this market.

这两家公司的扩大关系，结合了艾默生的过程自动化知识和顶级的测量和数字自动化技术，以及瓦锡兰的高效率发电、电力分配和船只自动化系统和产品。结合之后，他们可以为浮式生产储存和卸载(FPSO)领域提供一站式服务。特别是，他们目前可以为这一市场提供所有的系统施工、采购、安装、调试和服务。

“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. “Emerson and Wartsila’s 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.”

瓦锡兰船舶动力集团副总裁Jaakko Eskola表示：“FPSO建造的全球性采购和供应增大了专家工程和项目管理的重要性，而这正是我们联盟可提供的。艾默生和瓦锡兰更好的联盟提供了效率、真正的系统集成、立刻可用的交付以及更多的工程服务。我们还将使油轮在现场顺利转换和调试，以最高的速度有效快速地提供首批石油。”

“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 Emerson’s 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.”

艾默生系统和解决方案部总裁Tom Snead表示：“扩大的联盟在全球最主要的石油和天然气勘探领域提供了本地化布局。这个全球化的能力确保了一站式的服务更接近客户。全面的项目和工程能力，为航海产业的建造者、所有者以及经营者减少他们资本密集型项目的风险，为他们提供独特的优势。”

Emerson is a global supplier of process automation and control for oil and gas, refining, chemical and other industries, while Wartsila supplies power, automation and propulsion systems to marine and energy customers worldwide. The expansion of their alliance is based on the strength of two major FPSO conversions completed by the companies - YUUM K'AK’NAAB (YKN) now operating in Gulf of Mexico, and Teekay Petrojarl SIRI FPSO, now installed in Brazilian waters – and two other major conversions in process. The engineering teams from these two industry leaders began their collaboration in 2006 within an alliance then mainly covering FPSO vessels.

艾默生是石油和天然气、冶炼、化工及其他行业过程自动化和控制技术的全球性供应商，而瓦锡兰为全球各地的航海和能源客户提供电力、自动化和推进系统。这两家公司联盟的扩大是基于由这两家公司完成的两个重大的浮式生产储油船转换工程，一个由YKN公司正在墨西哥湾使用，另一个是目前安装在巴西水域的Teekay Petrojarl SIRI FPSO，以及另外两个正在进行中的转换工程。来自这两家行业领导者的工程队在2006年就开始了合作，当时主要是一个涉及浮式生产储油船船只的联盟。
