 ROLLS-ROYCE WINS £50M DECK MACHINERY CONTRACT FOR DEEP WATER ANCHOR HANDLING  
                             VESSELS IN SINGAPORE                              

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has been awarded a £50 million
contract by Swire Pacific Offshore to supply advanced anchor handling systems
for four offshore vessels, currently under construction in Singapore.

The systems are developed for the safer handling of large anchors on deck, such
as the torpedo anchors used in the deep water oil and gas fields off the coast
of Brazil.

Arne Tande, Rolls-Royce, Senior Vice President - Offshore Deck Machinery, said:
"Rolls-Royce supplies world leading marine technology that enables our
customers to operate safely in challenging conditions, such as the deep water
oil and gas fields. We are delighted that Swire Pacific Offshore has again
selected our safety-critical technology, which demonstrates that our focus on
research and development, and advancements in the technical capabilities of our
products, continues to position Rolls-Royce as the market leader for specialist
handling equipment in the offshore industry."

Rolls-Royce will supply a complete deck machinery system to each of the four
vessels, which are being built at the ST Marine Singapore shipyard. At the
heart of the system is a low-pressure hydraulic winch for anchor handling and
towing, with a pulling capacity of 500 tons.
