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.

Notably, FMV has fostered a longstanding and close collaboration with Finnøy Gear & Propeller, marking the 22nd and 23rd propulsion system deliveries to the shipyard.

Finnøy Gear & Propeller has consistently remained FDA’s preferred choice for propulsion systems on their service vessels.
