Through its SpecTec subsidiaries, the VISMA Group has recently signed a number of new contracts with a value totalling almost NOK 7 million.

- SpecTec Srl in Italy has signed a contract for the supply of Amos maintenance systems (Amos for Windows) for 3 RoRo ferries under construction at Fincantieri for Tor Lines, Gothenburg. The contract has a value of about NOK 1.9 million. In addition to software, it covers hardware, network installation, database building, and vibration measurement of rotating equipment. The contract increases the total order reserve for SpecTec Italy in 1998 to more than NOK 8 million.

- SpecTec Inc, USA has signed a contract for the supply of Amos for Windows and Amos-QMS (quality assurance and reporting tool) to OMI. The delivery includes 20 ships as well as installations in the companies' offices in Houston and Bombay. OMI will build the databases itself. The contract has a value of about NOK 1.4 million.

- SpecTec AB in Sweden has signed a contract with Safe Service for the supply of Amos for Windows and Amos-Mail (communications system) for offices and two semisubmersible accommodation platforms. There is also an option for an installation for another platform, as well as Amos-QMS for all the installations. The contract, including the options, has a value of about SEK 1.5 million.

- SpecTec AB in Sweden has also signed an agreement with the Svenska Kustbevakningen coast guard service, involving the supply of Amos for Windows to all 38 vessels, as well as conversion of databases from the DOS-based Amos-D. The contract also involves training for 150 people in total, as well as building a central database for the four regional offices. The contract value is SEK 1.3 million.

- Kockumation, which Visma acquired about a year ago, has signed a contract through Visma's Russian agent for the supply of the new generation Loadmaster (stability and load calculation tool) to Latvian Shipping Company. The contract value is NOK 850,000.

These contracts are very positive for us, and help to further strengthen the contract reserve for 1998 and 1999, commented the director of VISMA Marine Division, Jarle Dragvik.
