ADSB and Rolls to set up marine centre

Dubai: Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) and Rolls-Royce Marine Middle East said on Monday they will set up a centre in Abu Dhabi to provide support services to the shipyard's customers in the Gulf region.

Rolls-Royce will work with Abu Dhabi Ship Building to offer services such as training, mainten-ance, repairs, overhauls, spare parts and service contracts.

"This new waterjet service agreement with Rolls-Royce will enable ADSB to offer its customers in the Arabian Gulf an enhanced level of service and long-term regional support that will complement the refits, upgrades and repairs we perform and the new vessels we provide," ADSB's chief executive officer William Saltzer said in a statement.
