Lidan Marine Awarded New Handling-Equipment Contracts for the Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship
28 November 2006
Lidan Marine, founded in 1909, is a world-leading Swedish supplier of naval and marine handling and winch systems, specializing in TAS and VDS winches as well as ROV launch and recovery systems.
The company has focused on meeting the demand for lightweight, compact and shock-proof winch and handling systems suited for the new line of multi-purpose stealth combat ships, and has a history of working successfully with the majority of international defence-system integrators.
This auspicious history and reputation has helped Lidan Marine to be awarded two new contracts for handling equipment to the US Navy's Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship. The equipment is to be designed and supplied during the first half of 2007.
