The vessels will be built by STX Offshore Norway at its Brevik yard, which has previously built a number of vessels for the ship-owner.

“We are extremely happy with the performance of these UT vessels, as are our clients,” said Håvard Ulstein, Managing Director of Island Offshore in Ulsteinvik, Norway. “A very important area for Island Offshore is reduction in fuel consumption. With the UT 776, the favourable hull lines contribute to a very low consumption rate over a wide range of operating draughts. We believe that the most significant contribution to reducing emissions is to reduce fuel consumption for a given amount of work done. Going for LNG fuel is a logical step in reducing emissions even further.”

Rolls-Royce has worked for several years developing designs and systems for offshore vessels using LNG as fuel.

“Now that more gas infrastructure is in place, it is realistic for customers to select this fuel and these designs and systems” commented Atle Gaasø, General Manager Sales for Offshore service vessels. “We are very happy to be working with Island Offshore, as they are a very forward-thinking company with a strong focus on efficiency and the environment, as they have already shown with their pioneering Rolls-Royce designed well intervention vessels.”

The event, which is stationed on Kanawha River Boulevard, officially began with opening ceremonies on Wednesday evening at the State Capitol with guest of honor Gov. Joe Manchin. The rally runs through Saturday evening.

The Share the Road program has long focused on keeping all motorists on the highway safe and has spent a significant amount of time over the last five years visiting high schools throughout West Virginia. Share the Road has also developed special tips on motorcycle safety targeting how both motorcyclists and professional truck drivers can accommodate each other on the highway. By sharing tips with both groups, the highway safety program is working to curb the recent rise in motorcycle related fatalities.

“Attending the Harley Owners Group rally is a chance for us to talk about the techniques motorcyclists should know in order to stay safe around tractor-trailers,” said Barry Holland, a professional truck driver for UPS Freight. “Many riders don’t realize the limitations I face behind the wheel, so it is an enlightening experience. Similarly, I get to hear first-hand the concerns of motorcycle drivers and can help address those issues.”

Share the Road Professional Drivers Barry Holland, of Hurlock, Md., and Clarence Jenkins of Poca, W.Va., both from UPS Freight, will bring a combined 56 years and 4.8 million miles of accident-free driving experience to the event. These professional truck drivers provide a veteran’s perspective and can talk about the importance of safety.

America’s Road Team Captains, elite professional truck drivers with millions of accident-free miles, are offering advice on how to navigate through highway traffic and arrive at your destination safely. Tips include:

• Prepare you vehicle for long distance travel: Check your wipers and fluids. Have your radiator and cooling system serviced. Simple maintenance can prevent many of the problems that strand motorists on the side of the road before you leave your home.
• Plan ahead: Before you get on a highway, know your exit by name and number, and watch the signs as you near the off-ramp. Drivers making unexpected lane changes to exit often cause accidents.
• Do not cut in front of large trucks: Remember that trucks are heavier and take longer to make a complete stop, so avoid cutting quickly in front of them.
• Use a map or GPS: Surprisingly, few motorists plan their routes, even when driving through unfamiliar areas. Knowing the road is essential for safe driving – it allows you to anticipate lane changes and avoid a panicked search for directions.
• Leave early and avoid risks: Leave early and allow for delays in your travel schedule. Know your limitations: don’t drive when tired, upset or physically ill.
• Be aware of trucks blindspots: When sharing the road with large trucks, be aware of their blind spots. If you can’t see the truck driver in his or her mirrors, then the truck driver can’t see you.

“Around Labor Day Weekend, traffic increases as motorists seek that final summer trip before the kids go back to school and the weather turns cool,” said America’s Road Team Captain Greg Nauertz. “Additional motorists make safe driving habits all the more important. Nothing beats planning, preparation and patience.”

Leading the safety technology for the popular midsize crossover is Ford Motor Company’s exclusive AdvanceTrac with RSC. This electronic stability control system helps maintain a driver’s intended path by measuring side-to-side yaw through steering angle, lateral acceleration and yaw rate sensors and automatically making braking and throttle adjustments.

When wheel slip is sensed, AdvanceTrac reduces engine torque and applies selected brakes. RSC is an additional vehicle control software module that monitors and helps control vehicle roll rate.

“With class-exclusive safety technology and solid unibody construction, the 2011 Ford Edge will continue to be a leader in safety,” said Elaine Bannon, Edge chief engineer. “For families who place a premium on safety, the new Edge features several new available technologies that can help avoid an accident.”
