systems package including: a propulsion system, a power electrical system, a
bulk handling system, deck machinery, an automation and control system, as well

maintain the vessels' position without anchoring.

This contract is the first time Rolls-Royce has incorporated high speed
MTU-engines as part of an integrated power and propulsion package within the
successful UT-vessel series.

Anders Almestad, Rolls-Royce, President - Offshore, said: "We are very pleased
that COSCO have chosen to come back to us with a new customer. This shows that
they have confidence in our integrated systems and ship design capabilities.

offers from Rolls-Royce and MTU highlights the potential of our future
collaboration."

The four vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2014. At present COSCO group
