GE: signs a contract for 6 ships in Singapore


(CercleFinance.com) – GE Vernova’s energy conversion business has won a contract with Singaporean shipbuilder ST Engineering Marine.

This contract involves the supply of its power grid with Integrated Electric Propulsion Equipment (IFEP) for the Republic of Singapore Navy’s MRCV (Multi-Role Combat Vessel) program, consisting of six vessels.

These are the first IFEP-powered vessels for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). These ships will replace the fleet of Victory-class mechanically powered missile corvettes, which have been in service since 1989.

Delivery of electric propulsion systems for new ships is planned over the next ten years.

The GE Vernova power grid provides the electrical energy needed to propel the ship and powers its operational and mission systems, such as radar and communications.
