The essential auxiliary equipment hydraulic power systems, designed and built in Falmouth, Cornwall by Armada Engineering, underwent successful factory testing ahead of shipping to Vietnam and installation on board Scillonian IV and Menawethan.

These systems will power key machinery like the tunnel thrusters,  windlass, cargo hold hatch, cargo crane, cargo pallet hoist and side door on Menawthan and the windlass and gangway davits on Scillonian. Our project manager, Chris Lingham, joined representatives from Lloyd’s Register, Piriou and ISSG to witness the Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and confirm performance to specification.
