               ROLLS-ROYCE WINS LARGEST OFFSHORE VESSELS ORDER,                
                                  WORTH £83M                                   

Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on
land, at sea and in the air, has won its largest ever offshore marine order,
worth £83 million.

It will deliver designs and equipment for six new Rolls-Royce UT Design
offshore service vessels to OSM Schiffahrt, a joint venture between the
Nordcapital Group in Germany and Norwegian ship management group OSM.
OSM Schiffahrt also has options for a further six vessels.

The vessels - designed by Rolls-Royce and incorporating a range of its marine
equipment, including Bergen diesel engines, deck machinery, thrusters and
dynamic positioning systems - will be built by Korean and Norwegian yards.

Four UT 786 CD deep water anchor handlers will be built at the Sekwang shipyard
for delivery in the second half of 2009. Two UT 776 CD platform supply vessels
will be built at Aker Yards Brevik for delivery in 2009 and 2010.

John Paterson, Rolls-Royce President - Marine, said: "Eight UT 755 LN supply
vessels are already on order in Norway and the additional vessels mean OSM
Schiffahrthas now specified Rolls-Royce designs and systems for the whole of
its current building programme for new offshore vessels."

Rolls-Royce UT-Design ships have been highly successful in the commercial
shipbuilding market, with 570 vessels built or on order.
