Ansaldo STS wins new orders totalling EUR 102 million New contracts awarded in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to supply signalling systems
Ansaldo STS (STS.MI), a Finmeccanica Group company, has won
new orders totalling around EUR 102 million in Turkey and the
United Arab Emirates.
In Turkey, Ansaldo STS has signed agreements with the
Italo-Turkish joint venture, Salini-GCF-Kolin, to supply rail
signalling, automation and telecommunications systems for the
Gebze-Kosekoy stretch of high-speed track between Ankara and
Istanbul.
The new line will be equipped with the standard European
ERTMS/ETCS level 1 signalling system, which Ansaldo STS is
already supplying in Turkey under another contract previously
awarded. Entry into operation is scheduled for 2014.
Also in Turkey, Ansaldo STS is to supply - via Korean
multinational Hyundai-Rotem
- on-board signalling systems for 80 locomotives that Turkish
state rail operator
TCDD plans to purchase from the Korean supplier to expand and
upgrade its fleet. The systems will comply with ERTMS/ETCS
level 1 standards and final delivery is scheduled for
2013.
These two contracts strengthen the technological leadership
and presence of Ansaldo STS in a strategic country with major
investment already allocated to modernisation of its rail
network.
In the United Arab Emirates, Ansaldo STS has been awarded a
contract by the Italo- Indian joint venture created by
Saipem-Tecnimont-Dodsal for the system integration of the
newly constructed Shah-Habshan-Ruwais line, the first stretch
of the constituent rail network owned by Etihad Rail (the UAE
rail operator).
The contract is to supply signalling, automation and
telecommunications systems, as well as other smaller systems
for the management and control of passenger and freight
traffic, for a line about 260 km long that will link the Shah
industrial complex with the port of Ruwais.
The signalling system to be supplied by Ansaldo STS will
comply with the ERTM/ETCS level 2 European standard,
currently the most advanced in a market which Ansaldo STS
leads.
The works will take 36 months and completion is scheduled in
two phases, the first after 24 months and the second after a
further 12 months.
The acquisition of the contract for the turnkey construction
of an automatic metro for the women's university campus
in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) in 2009 confirms Ansaldo STS'
desire to gain a leadership position in the Middle Eastern
countries within the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). These
countries have planned a substantial programme of investment
to create an interoperable rail network and currently
represent one of the most attractive markets in the global
arena. In the GCC countries, Ansaldo STS currently has
secondary operational offices in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
