KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 3
/PRNewswire-Asia/ -- AVEVA Group plc (LSE: AVV), one of the world's
leading providers of engineering design and information management
solutions to the plant, power and marine industries, announced that
Thai-based The Bangkok Dock Company (1957) Limited, and
Indian-based SKA Marine Services Pvt Ltd. have concluded contracts
for the use of AVEVA Marine solutions within their respective
yards.
Established in 1865, The Bangkok Dock Company
has a rich maritime history and today is among the country's
leading shipbuilding and ship repair enterprises. The company is
considered an important asset for the Royal Thai Navy.
SKA Marine Services is based in Chennai,
India, and offers a complete spectrum of services to ship builders
and ship owners including basic ship design, equipment sourcing,
preparation and approval of class, statutory and production
drawings.
Peter Finch, President, AVEVA Asia Pacific,
said: "AVEVA has long been used by top yards around the world. With
countries such as India, Vietnam and Thailand beginning their
shipbuilding programs, AVEVA is confident that we can support these
yards to become more efficient and hence more able to compete with
the major players."
Peter continued: "We are confident that
shipbuilding will remain a viable industry within these countries
as it has always been interlinked with shipping, which is closely
connected to a country's international trade. Today we see India's
and Thailand's exports on the rebound as the global economy
improves and industrial production picks up. This is a positive
trend for both the countries' shipping industries, and their
shipbuilding and repair activity. Regional naval projects are also
playing an integral role in driving the shipbuilding industry.
This is especially true in India, which has a thriving naval
shipbuilding programme, and where AVEVA solutions are currently
used to design all ships in the Indian Navy."
