In 2004, MJR Power & Automation collaborated with Technip Norge AS on the Statoil Kristin Project, achieving impressive lay speeds with a unique handling system for subsea pipes and direct electrical heating cables. Major upgrades followed in 2006 and 2008, ensuring faultless system performance.

Over two years, MJR upgraded the Integrated Automation System on Stena Caledonia in two stages. Stage 1 involved replacing the Main Engine Bearing Monitoring & Exhaust Gas Temperature Monitoring Systems, and Stage 2 replaced the entire Decca ISIS 200 system, integrating all components successfully.

MJR Power & Automation Controls provided a comprehensive turnkey package for the installation of an additional Diesel Electric Tunnel Thruster during the conversion of P&O European Ferries' 'European Leader,' including integrated machinery monitoring, safety systems, remote control, generator switchboard, electronic soft starter, and class-approved design.
