ICE at EUROPORT

The International Contract Engineering (ICE) Group is one of Europe’s largest independent ship design and marine engineering consul-tancies, with an annual capacity of more than ½ million professional engineering man-hours. Headquartered in the Isle of Man, the Group has been in business almost 50 years. It offers a full range of high caliber, cost-effective engineering and design services, either in its own design offices in Romania and the UK or at clients' sites. The ICE Group is today engaged with projects for the offshore oil & gas industry and with design of commercial, naval and coast guard ships. ICE undertakes the full design scope from conceptual design through class drawings, detail design and production information and also advises clients on build strategy, project management, procurement, shipyard layout and productivity.The Group’s experience includes design for new construction and conversion of a wide range of vessels including tankers, bulk carriers, passenger cruise vessels, ro-ro ferries, naval patrol vessels, frigates, corvettes, jack-up drilling rigs, LNG and LPG gas carriers, semi-submersible drilling rigs, drill ships, offshore service vessels, FSOs, FPSOs, research vessels and fixed offshore production platforms. Clients include leading shipyards, ship owners and offshore industry contractors throughout Europe as well as in Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Middle East, Singapore and the US.

Approximately 60 ICE employees participated recently in an intensive in-house training course (“Regulatory Competence for the Petroleum Industry”) developed by industry specialists RVK in cooperation with BI Norwe-gian School of Management in Stavanger. The course with focus on Project Engineering and Construction was specially designed to provide up-to-date knowl-edge and awareness of the Norwegian regulatory requirements concerning health, the environment and safety.

ICE regards Norway as an important market and has so far served 25 Norwegian clients. Currently, about 100 ICE engineers are involved with a large Norwegian Continental Shelf (“NCS”) project, for which the majority of the design and engineering will take place in ICE’s offices in Galati, Romania.

From 5 – 8 November 2013, International Contract Engineering (ICE) will again be exhibiting at the Ahoy exhibition center in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. More than 30,000 maritime professionals from over 90 countries will meet there to present, discuss and share information on innovative technology and smart solutions to build the most sophisticated ships.

We look forward to seeing clients and friends at our stand no. 6810, hall 6 - inside the Romanian Pavilion.

The ad will be shown both in the paper itself and in its electronic version. ICE selected “Upstream” – a leading weekly newspaper in the offshore energy business – to make its readers aware that ICE over the last several years has successfully changed from being a traditional ship design firm to becoming one of the largest indepen-dent designers of floating platforms such as FPSOs, FSOs and MODUs as well as of vessels for the offshore wind farm industry. Whilst still having ongoing ship design projects for clients in Europe and Asia, FEED studies and basic and detail design for the offshore industry now constitutes the largest part of ICE’s business.

As part of its marketing efforts, in early October ICE started running an ad in “Upstream”, the Interna-tional Oil & Gas Newspaper.
