Finnøy Gear & Propeller AS, the Norwegian-based leading developer and manufacturer of propulsion solutions for the maritime industry, proudly announces a recently inked agreement with Finnsnes Dykk & Anleggservice AS (FDA) to deliver a comprehensive and tailored propulsion system for their two contracted service vessels.
