HOUSTON -- Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co. has awarded Noble Denton a contract for failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and trials for a ten-vessel newbuild program, due for completion in 2012.

Noble Denton is providing specialist support at the design and planning stage, offering guidance on the implications of the design and placement of equipment including fire and flood boundaries, plus the need for additional DP control stations and associated equipment.
