Under the contract, Aalesund-based Hydroniq Coolers will supply its Pleat seawater cooling system for the CLV Nexans Aurora.
The Pleat coolers will provide cooling of the vessel’s main engine and auxiliary systems through the use of seawater.
Hydroniq Coolers will manufacture and assemble the Pleat cooler at its headquarters in Aalesund and deliver it to Ulstein Verft in Ulsteinvik, Norway. The company has not disclosed the value of the contract.
