COMMENTS fROM THE CEO
spirit, combined with a very low absence due to illness,
contributes to our competitive power and our results.
I wish to thank all our employees for their great efforts
through a demanding 2010 and for the way challenges
are handled!
We now see that activity for Scana is picking up, but the
order intake for 2010 in total has been too low. This will
influence our profit in the company’s first half of 2011.
We are nevertheless pleased to see the current upturn
in the market and the marked increase in contracts
towards the end of 2010 and in the beginning of 2011.
We have carried out several structural measures to
position ourselves for an activity increase. Our offices
in Houston, Shanghai, Singapore, Houston and Rio de
janeiro bring us closer to our customers in important
markets. The establishment of our own subsea
company has rendered possible several larger, more
complete deliveries from Scana to a market where we
know we have a very strong competitive power. Also,
we have invested to increase capacity, reduce unit
costs and increase robustness in our steel companies.
A strong focus on efficiency, leadtimes and unit costs,
in addition to a commitment to the future, makes for a
strong foundation for good future results.
Scana is acknowledged as a supplier of high quality
steel. The recent years we have gradually manufactured
more complete products and systems. We are not
competing in delivering a rod of steel with other steel
works across the globe. Our competitive power lies in
adding value for the customer when we turn high quality
steel into more complete products in a way that few
others can. This strategy makes us unique globally and
is something that we are poised to reap the benefits of
in the future. Our firm basis is a very strong knowledge
and competence in materials technology.
In everything we do, we will focus on delivery precision
and quality. Our customers will experience us as a very
reliable supplier, thus strengthening our reputation and
our competitive position. Our leaders shall closely follow
up their own businesses and “be out there”, among our
customers, to understand their needs and contribute to
solve their challenges.
We expected 2010 to become a volatile and demanding
year for Scana, being a late cyclic company and having
the effect of global activity downturn hit us gravely
towards the end of 2010. We saw this development
early and acted immediately. At the outset of 2010, we
had removed a series of costs, including reducing the
number of hands by 300 people, both temporarily and
permanently.
In hindsight, these changes were very important.
Combined with a strong focus on contributing to
solve our customers’ challenges, we have, in spite of
a negative operating profit in 2010, coped far better
than most comparable companies. Our activity was
as expected, but the pressure on prices in some of
the market segments has been heavier than assumed.
This applies especially to the traditional steel and
industry market in Europe, plus competition exposed
deliveries to the energy market. Even if Scana to a
large extent is able to supply the quantities we would
like to these markets, it has been very difficult to get
paid sufficiently for the quality benefit we provide. This
is due to overcapacity with the producers, making the
competition in some market segments very strong.
When Scana succeeds with our changeovers, it is
because everybody sees that change is necessary,
but not at least because everyone wishes to keep the
business running and the workplaces intact. This team
Scana’s competitive power lies in adding value for the customer when we turn high quality steel into more complete products
A nn ua l R ep or t 2 01 0 S ca na I nd us trie r A S A
Scana is an environmental business and
manufactures some of the purest and eco
friendly steel that can be obtained, steel that
is utilized in our own products and by our
customers.
Our starting point is scrap metal, which, through
our processes, is turned into highquality
products. It is our goal to have the smallest
possible impact on our environment, irrespective
of where in the world the production takes place.
2011 will be a demanding year. A stronger
Norwegian and Swedish Krone, compared to
important currencies, present us with extra
challenges. An improved order intake towards
the end of 2010 and into 2011 will, however, yield
return effects second half 2011. In the transition
phase we now are in, small events could however
manifest itself in our operation profit more clearly
than before. An event, that in a period of strong
economic expansion would hardly be visible, will
in this situation be noticeable. But the markets
that are most important to Scana show a gradual
improvement, making us more optimistic about
orders and profits in the coming years.
We are positioned for an exciting future!
Yours sincerely, Rolf Roverud Group CEO na I nd us trie r A S A

to be able to offer finished steel products. This gives
Scana a clear competitive advantage, which the group
will develop further.
In the period from 20082010, more than NOK 200
million has been invested in the steel companies. The
investments increase capacity and delivery precision,
and reduce risk and production costs. In 2010, Scana
expanded the production capacity in China with regard
to rolls and larger rings. Scana’s investments also
included a new forge manipulator at Björneborg, which
is able to handle tonnage up to 75 tonnes and lengths
up to 24 metres.
Products
Scana is a leading supplier of specialised products in
steel and customises solutions for various uses. Key
elements are close collaboration with the customer and
high quality. Scana’s technological expertise is pivotal to
the production and in connection with the development
of new, customised products. Scana’s production
capacity in terms of steel produced inhouse is around
150,000 tonnes of melted material.
Scana offers a broad range of products weighing from
50 kg to 45 tonnes, in lengths up to 24 metres. Scana
is a market leader in the upper weight and length range,
particularly with regard to cylindrical products. Scana
has a large capacity within heat treatment. This renders
possible specific material qualities and extended tensile
strength, an important competitive advantage.
Markets and customers
Our special products provide us with customers among
the great international players in industries such as
marine, oil/gas and energy. Scana offers optimum
design and material alternatives, which, combined
with short delivery times and good logistics, provide a
competitive total solution.
Special steel customers are primarily steel companies,
major wholesalers and end users. Scana has entered
into several longterm collaboration agreements with a
number of key customers. This provides a good basis
for developing the business concept further.
The development is heading in the direction of
customers requesting supplies of finished products
delivered directly to their own facilities. High quality and
technical expertise, combined with precise deliveries
have all helped Scana capture a strong position in the
market.
The steel business area has a several hundred year
long tradition in the Swedish steel industry with regard
to the companies Scana Steel Björneborg, Scana Steel
Booforge and Scana Steel Söderfors, in addition to the
cooperation with Motala verkstad AB. This business
area also includes Leshan Scana Machinery Company
in China, plus the Norwegian company Scana Steel
Stavanger.
The companies each have an independent and long
history, and specialise in different production areas.
The business area supplies complete products to
workshops, the marine industry and the oil and gas
industry. Production takes place at Scana’s own
production facilities, which include melting plants,
forges, rolling mills, foundries and heat treatment and
machining units. Production is of a high standard
and complies with ISOcertified quality assurance
systems. The business is characterised by high levels of
metallurgical expertise and strong market positions in
the respective product areas.
Strategic position
Scana maintains a high standard with regard to its
production as well as a broad product range. Getting a
foothold in this industry is difficult since both production
facilities and infrastructure represent major investments,
and because it is also extremely challenging to acquire
sufficient levels of metallurgic and technical expertise.
Scana is one of few players in its area with integrated
production facilities that include both melting/production
of steel, heat treatment and machining of components.
few of Scana’s competitors have their own steelworks
and have to buy billets and semifinished goods in order

Steel
The company was founded 354 years ago, making it
one of the group’s most venerable companies – not to
mention one of the oldest forges in the world.
Due to low demand and high pressure on prices,
following a financial recession and an economic
down turn in the heavy steel industry, the company’s
order reserve and turnover has decreased. But with
a number of cost cutting measures, the result is still
positive.
Markets and customers
Scana Steel Björneborg exports 70 % of its turnover,
directly or through other companies in the group. The
largest market is Europe, but export also goes to the
USA, Asia and other parts of the world.
The entire steel industry has throughout 2010 been
faced with a low demand and increased competition
due to a much larger capacity in both Europe and Asia.
As a consequence, the organization and crew of the
company has been adjusted accordingly and marketing
has been intensified. Scana Steel Björneborg has,
adhering to our longterm strategy, continued our work
on increasing the refinement of our products. The result
for 2010 is an increasing number of customers ordering
a higher number of finished products, especially in the
marine business area.
In 2011, a slight increase in market demand is expected.
The business as a whole will experience an increasing
forge capacity in the world. Scana Steel Björneborg will
continue to focus on established customer relations,
cooperation with other Scana companies and also on
new markets.
investments for the future
In the course of the recent three years, large,
productivityincreasing investments have been carried
out, and the majority were concluded during the
summer of 2009. Investments for increased production
capacity, more advanced testing equipment and a
better environment, has continued in 2010 as well. The
most important completed investments in the course of
2010 were:
• Upgrades of lathes for the machining workshop
• Continued development of the steelworks, part 2,
through purchase of a new transformer. Installation of
the arc oven transformer is due during summer 2011,
and for ovens some time during summer 2012. These
investments will increase capacity to 115,000 tonnes
annually.
• Upgraded equipment for heat stability testing,
completed and runin. With this test equipment, axles
can be tested at high temperatures, meeting the
particularly high demands of energy customers.
• New CTOD test equipment for the testing of steel,
especially for customers in oil and gas. Having this
machine inhouse shortens the leadtime for e.g.
risers with several weeks.
• New pendulum impact tester increasing safety and
capacity.
• New cooler intake and new dam hatches minimize the
risk of flooding and cooler liquid breakdowns.
• Equipment to ensure that no radioactive materials are
led onto the property.

Investments have been carried out according to
schedule, resulting in more reliable production
equipment with a higher total capacity, plus more
advanced test facilities. The company is well prepared
for an increased demand for forged steel products
weighing up to 45 tonnes and a length of 24 metres.
increased productivity and quality
In the course of the year, Scana Steel Björneborg has
introduced “Lean Production” in all production divisions,
partly under our own auspices and partly within the
framework of a programme by Chalmers tekniske
høyskole, called “The Production Lift”. Our goal has
been to attain a high and even quality through control of
every process. This also contributes to a higher delivery
precision.
The costs for quality divergences are now less,
as a direct result of the aforementioned work, and
combined with the programme for cost reduction, this
has contributed to increased competitive power. The
programme continues through 2011, and several of
the company’s workers are involved and contribute to
the improvements. This is a continuation of the earlier
work where we systematically shorten the leadtime for
all products. The company has introduced bottleneck
control, setting a maximum limit for the number of
products at work in critical processes.
We want to ensure that the company’s workers
are highly skilled, which in turn leads to improved
quality. The company identifies critical skills using a
competence matrix, in addition to certification of specific
skills through practical and written tests. A recently
introduced salary system for employees is an incentive
to further develop one’s skills and competence.
All in all, the aforementioned measures entail that our
work in progress have decreased drastically, our delivery
precision has increased, the throughput times are
shortened and the divergences are more than halved.
Products
Scana Steel Björneborg delivers customer designed
products for four market segments: industrial, marine,
machine and energy. The company’s main products are
forged, rotation symmetrical, large and long components
of steel with a high technical content. Scana Steel
Björneborg also supplies raw forged and semifinished
billets. The products are for instance axles, shafts, joints,
risers, poles and sheet metal.
The company’s products are often key components for
the customer, and are delivered with different degrees
of completion, depending on customer requirements.
The company has an ongoing cooperation with material
institutes to further increase the quality of our products.

Markets and customers
The company is mainly aimed at forklift truck and
machine manufacturers, as well as other steelworks.
In addition the company has customers within oil and
gas and the food industry. The customers are primarily
located in the Nordic region and in other parts of
Europe. Scana Steel Booforge exports approximately 15
% of its production. The company’s largest customers
include Cargotec, Konecranes, Svetruck, Sandvik, Alfa
Laval, Moorlink og Scana Steel Björneborg.
The market for Scana Steel Booforge’s core products –
forks, free form forging and heat treatment – has been
improved in 2010. The order intake has increased by 30
% for these products. The demand for racks and lifting
carriages was temporarily weakened as a result
of aggressive pricing from Eastern Europe.
Products
Scana Steel Booforge’s main products are:
• Forged arms for forklift trucks
• Lifting equipment for forklift trucks
• Heat treatment of larger goods
• Free form forged components
In 2010 Scana Steel Booforge also has invested in
marketing, resulting in, among other things, a new
website: www.booforge.com. The strengthening of
Scana Steel Booforge as a brand in the forklift truck
industry has increased demand and global sales. To
further expand our global activities, new sales channels
and dealer networks are being established.
A special research and development function was
established in 2010, where Booforge can perform as a
more active partner in customer collaboration in a value
chain perspective, and develop supplemental products.
With a stronger market focus, our own technological de
ve lopment and increased efficiency in the production, Scana
Steel Booforge AB emerges well prepared for the future.
Managing director: Håkan Schill
Scana Steel Booforge is a world leader in the production of large arms for forklift trucks – arms
that can lift in excess of 10 tonnes. With Scana’s expertise in free form forging, the company can
manufacture large forks and other forged products according to any specification with stringent
demands for strength. Since 2009, Booforge also manufactures masts and lifting carriages, and
thus complete lifting systems in the heavy segment.

Leshan manufactures rolls for the steel industry and
cast special products for the steel, energy, oil and
gas, construction and shipping industry. Leshan is a
respected supplier in the Chinese market and is among
the leading in the Chinese roll manufacturing industry.
The company has an annual capacity of 20,000 tonnes
rolls and cast products.
Leshan´s vision is to be a leading manufacturer of rolls.
This strategy entails manufacturing niche products
of a high quality. Scana collaborates closely with the
customers to develop existing and new products.
Products and market
Rolls are the company’s core product and are utilised by
Leshan’s customers to make profile steel, hot materials
and plates. Chinas entire production of steel totals
670 million tonnes, or roughly 50 % of the world’s total
production. The production is expected to increase to
more than 1,000 million tonnes towards 2020. Leshan
Scana is a strong brand and has world leading steel
producers on our client list.
In spite of surplus capacity in the Chinese market,
Leshan Scana has increased the order intake with an
excess of 300 %, compared to 2009. But substantial
competition, plus increased energy and raw materials
prices, has lessened profitability. Towards the end of
2010, Leshan Scana carried through cost reductions
and workforce downsizing to strengthen our competitive
power.
Castings are mainly used in the power generation,
petroleum, cement, construction and shipping
industries. Leshan Scana is certified according to
international class companies like DNv, ABS, LRS, Bv,
GL, RINA and NK. Scana is an important supplier of
cast nodes and connectors to several large projects in
China, like the EXPO2010 in Shanghai and Bird’s Nest
Stadium in Beijing, for the Olympic Games 2008.
The sales ratio between rolls and castings is 85 % and
15 %, respectively. Sales are largely generated from
the domestic market, but some of the production is
exported to India, Turkey, Malaysia and Taiwan. Through
cooperation with international partners, the goal is to
increase export sales considerably towards 2015.
The company has adopted and implemented the “Lean
Production” philosophy to optimise production and
reduce cost.
Leshan Scana is completing a large investment
programme for a new production line for large rings.
The project will be completed in 2011 and ensure
the company a leading role in this area as well. The
company will introduce new technology, improve
technical skills, plus strengthen product and market
development.
The investment will also bring positive side effects,
such as increasing the maximum weight of castings to
a theoretical value of 50 tonnes, and the total melting
capacity to over 100 tonnes. This will improve the
flexibility.

Scana Steel Stavanger’s customers are users of special steel and high alloy steel with stringent
requirements for design and documentation. These are mainly found in the oil and gas, marine,
energy, mining and general mechanical industries.
SCANA STEEL STAvANGER
Scana Steel Stavanger was founded in 1910 and has
produced steel since 1913. The business is located at
jørpeland, near Stavanger, Norway. The company’s
business concept was based on the idea of remelting
scrap steel from the local cannery industry and ship
scrapping. Scana Industrier bought the company in 1991.
Markets and customers
Scana Steel Stavanger operates in a global market, but
the majority of our customers are in Scandinavia and
northern Europe. The company competes in the market
of high alloy forged components and complex, cast,
special components. Scana Steel Stavanger AS is, in
addition to Scana Leshan in China, the only company in
Scana with a foundry.
In 2010, Scana Steel Stavanger had an export share of
65 %, with the main export going to the UK, Sweden
and Germany. There is tough competition in the market.
Scana’s competitive edge is that we are a relatively small
player able to produce small series, where quality and
delivery times are vital. Our deliveries are often special
products, custom made to meet the client’s needs.
In 2010, the company secured its first steel delivery
contract to the downhole product “Liner hanger”.
A nn ua l R ep or t 2 01 0 S ca na I nd us trie r A S A
Scana Steel Stavanger AS has secured a contract for delivering protective components to the downfall pits at a new crushing level for LKAB’s processing facilities at Kiruna.
With extreme demands for corrosion and mechanical
properties, this is a product that fits the company’s
strategy of higher alloy and processing degrees in
products.
furthermore, Scana Steel Stavanger AS has in 2010
secured large contracts in the mining industry. The
contract with LKAB in Sweden to adjust the crushing
level at the site in Kiruna was important. These deliveries
are due in 2011.
Aker Solutions has awarded the company several large
orders for delivering anchor handling equipment, where
the end customer is, among others, Petrobras in Brazil.
Scana Steel Stavanger AS also landed contracts for
integrals with jack & St. Malo at the end of 2010, to be
delivered spring and summer 2011.
ELG Carrs in the UK tripled the order volume of Scana
Steel Stavanger AS from 2009 to 2010 of forged
products of the material quality Super Duplex.
for Scana Steel Stavanger AS, 2010 started off with
7 weak months, followed by 5 months of higher order
intake and activity. The order intake in 2010 was
40 % higher than in 2009. The company views 2011
with optimism and a higher predictability in the market.
The company owns 35,000 m
2of real estate in total.
This mainly consists of industrial premises, with
additional office and service areas. The business is
located on the old industrial site of Bofors, and the
properties were acquired in 1997, when Scana bought a
part of Bofors AB.
After structural changes in the defence industry, a need
has arisen to see new activity in the halls; to replace the
existing tenants’ lessened need for rented area.
Services
Today, six external companies rent areas for a total of
23,000 m
2. The remaining areas are rented and utilised
by Scana Steel Booforge AB.
Today, two companies are operating on the premises,
on a surface area covering just over 15,000 m

One of these companies are KGA Logistik AB, owned
by Galatea Spirits AB. KGA Logistik AB is one of the five
largest distributors of beer, wine and spirits in Sweden.
logistics and geography
from a Swedish perspective, Karlskoga is located
almost in the middle of a centre for logistics. And with
the improved road E18 towards Örebro and Karlskoga,
Karlskoga today represents a strong, competitive
alternative to other closely situated places.
Business has been positive in 2010 for Scana Steel AB
and its tenants. Especially the logistics companies have
seen a positive development and are asking for larger areas.
Scana Steel AB is a small, prospering and cost efficient real estate firm that manages Scana’s

Scana Propulsion is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of ship propulsion and manoeuvring systems. We supply systems to most vessel types, from fast boats and yachts to fishing boats, ferries and special ships within the oil and gas business.

are shipyards, shipping companies, consultancy firms
or other system suppliers. Scana has sales offices
in Singapore, China, Korea, the USA and Brazil.
Establishing a representation office in Shanghai for sale
and service of gears and propulsion systems has proven
to be a strategic success, given Scana’s strengthened
position in the Asian market, both commercially and
technically. Through our own facilities and an extensive
agent and distributor network, the business area has
developed a worldwide representation network.
2010 has seen a bustling activity in the completion
of ships in Asia, based on contracts entered during
the contract boom of 20062009. In 2009 and 2010,
however, the number of new contracts has been the
lowest in a 10year perspective. The combination of a
high number of cancelled orders and a global order
deficiency has led to economic difficulties and bank
ruptcies for several shipyards, globally. This has in turn
reduced delivery times from 23 years to approximately
1 year. Contracts signed in 2010 are mainly for deliveries
in 2011, except for series stretching into 2013.
Scana has so far suffered only to a limited extent from
financial crisis cancellations in Norway or globally. fewer
new contracts the recent two years have, however, made
the market for Scana’s products dwindle. This effect will
spill over into 2011, but demand is expected to increase
gradually towards the end of the year. Scana’s increased
focus on service and maintenance will dampen the effect
of temporarily reduced new sales.

Scana Volda, formerly volda Mekaniske verksted, was
established in 1913 in volda, Norway, and was taken
over by the Scana group in 1998. volda Mek. started
as an engine factory and later developed into including
shipbuilding and production of propellers and gears. At
the end of the 1980s, the last hull was delivered – and
the shipyard was removed in 1997.
Since 1966, gears and propulsion systems have been
the most important products. Scana volda has been a
Consortial Partner to MaK (Caterpillar) since 1996. from
2009 Scana volda has held a leading role in the product
group Scana Propulsion, which also consists of Scana
MarEl, Scana Zamech in Elblag, Poland, and Scana
Singapore.
Scana Mar-El is located in Dalen in Telemark,
Norway, and has been a part of Scana Industrier ASA
since 1996. Scana MarEl is one of Europe’s leading
manufacturers of maritime control systems for ship
propulsion and manoeuvering, in addition to control
systems for special applications. Since the start in 1974,
the company has delivered about 3,000 control and
navigational systems.
Scana Zamech’s origins date back to 1837 when
ferdi nand Gotlob Schichau opened the machine work
shop “Schichau Werke” in Elblag, Poland. The work shop
manufactured elements for steam engines, equipment
for sugar factories, oil mills and lumber mills as well as
hydraulic presses and rollers. In 1855, the first seagoing
ship with a steel hull and a propeller was launched
from “Schichau Werke”. Scana Industrier ASA acquired
the company in 2009. The company has an extensive
service activity, in addition to being responsi ble for Scana
Propulsion’s sales to Poland, the Baltic and Russia.
Scana Singapore was established in 1996 and is
owned 100 % by Scana. The company is responsible
for sales and service on Scana’s marine products in
SouthEast Asia. Personnel local to the area perform
product service and installation, in addition to service on
related products for external companies.

Scana Marine Service is a special profit centre in the
group and performs service and after market activities
to the product area. Scana Marine Service has service
personnel at every sales office, in addition to service
agreements with independent companies in selected
markets.
The companies constituting Scana Propulsion have
gained a good international reputation and export 80 %
of their products, in total.
Markets and customers
Scana Propulsion’s core segment is offshore, merchant
vessels, speedboats, passenger ships and fishery.
Geographically, the main activity is located in Asia, with
China as the largest building market, involving European
shipyards and design firms. In Brazil, there is a bustling
activity in the offshore and merchant segment as a
result of Petrobras’ extensive development programme.
This is an important market for Scana Propulsion.
Scana Propulsion’s hallmark is technologically advanced
solutions and a strong market position for ships for
demanding operations, like anchor handling vessels and
other special vessels.
Scana Propulsion is marketed as a complete equipment
package in the global ship equipment market, but the
products are also independent units. Gears from Scana
volda are an example of a strong brand in the market,
and similarly, control systems from Scana MarEl and
thrusters from Scana Zamech.
In collaboration with Caterpillar, Scana offers complete
propulsion packages for ships, consisting of engine,
gears, propellers, axles, tunnel thrusters and propulsion
control. A close collaboration with ship designers and
leading electronic suppliers has created a strong focus
on developing products that are a part of ecofriendly
hybrid and dieselelectric propulsion systems.
Among our partners, there is a great interest in
develop ing propulsion solutions in collaboration with
Scana. A continued commitment to complete packages
within hybrid and dieselelectric solutions is expected
to yield in creased results. Scana Propulsion’s product
line is “drawn in” with several design firms, and they are
marke ting these products in different ship design for
their clients.
Scana Marine Service has a strong commitment to
selling service to the global market. This commitment
has yielded positive results. Synergies between the
propulsion companies and a continued international
commitment are expected to increase turnover and
profit for the service organisation. Sales and marketing
of service is aimed mainly at Scana’s own products, in
the form of startup, maintenance, replacements and
shipwrecking, plus other special services and inspection.
2010 was a challenging year, with a low order intake and,
globally, a high number of planned builds cancellations.
Scana Propulsion is not untouched by this situation. But
because of a large share of contracts with the offshore
fleet, the largest cancellation wave among bulk and
cargo vessels has been avoided. In 2010, the company
signed important strategic orders within the Scana
commitment areas offshore and special vessels with,
among others, Brazil, China, Singapore and Norway.
As a consequence of the general market development
in the recent years, Scana Propulsion is expecting a
prudent turnover growth for 2011. Our commitment within
service counteracts a lower activity within new sales.

Product development
In the market for hightechnological solutions,
development is of paramount importance – especially
development governed by specifications from the
customer. Consequently, Scana Propulsion has
continuous product development and upgrade as an
integral part of the group’s work. Deliveries are adapted
to each ship and are detailed in collaboration with
shipowners and ship designers. The development team
for mechanical solutions in Scana Propulsion is located
at Scana volda, who develops, projects, manufactures

has a department at Scana MarEl for developing and
manufacturing remote control systems.
Scana MarEl has an agency department that sells
components of a very high quality. These are utilised
within offshore, telecommunications, energy, sea and
land based defence installations and other industry.
The department represents large international players in
advanced, hightech components and has technological
firms in Norway in its customer portfolio.
Scana Propulsion has a strong market focus and
frequently commercialises new products. In 2010,
Scana delivered the first contract for a new, hightech,
remote controlled system as a replacement for an
existing system, making the company ready to supply
to a increasingly demanding and complex market. Later,
the joystick system Marco v was introduced, a product
sparking great interest in the market.

offshore vessels.
Scana signed a contract with the Turkish shipyard
Tersan Shipyard for the delivery of complete propulsion
systems, consisting of gears, propeller, tunnel thrusters
and remote control for a longliner for the shipping
company frøyanes AS. The propulsion system is a
dieselelectric solution with Siemens electromotors,
giving the vessel a fuel saving solution with great
flexibility.
Scana has signed several contracts for single units of
tunnel thrusters and controllable pitch propellers.
A contract for propeller delivery was signed with
Northern Shipyard in Poland for equipment to a rescue
vessel. The delivery consists of two controllable pitch
propellers and one fixed pitch propeller with an axle
system, each propeller with a diameter of 1,700 mm.
With the polish Gdansk Shiprepair yard “Remontowa”,
a contract was signed to deliver tunnel thrusters for
two supply vessels, with an option for deliveries for
an additional two ships. The vessels will be operated
by Ezra Holding Ltd. from Singapore. The delivery
for each ship is four controllable pitch thrusters with
remote control and DPdemands. This is a delivery to a
commitment area in an important geographical market
and confirms Scana’s position as an international player
in a demanding market.
In 2010, we delivered 2 out of a total of 8 deliveries for
bulk ships at Nantong Mingde Heavy Industry Stock

Scana Skarpenord was originally established as a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro, Rjukan fabrikker, in
the late 60’s. The company has been on the market with its current product range since the middle
of the 70’s, and is among the leading suppliers of hydraulic valve systems for the ship and oil & gas
industry. Scana Industrier ASA took control of the company in 1989.
SCANA SKARPENORD
In 2010, the company has adapted the organisation to
a tighter market, due to changes in the world economy
the recent years. The company has strengthened its
competitive power through increasing its efficiency, and
is now competitive in a rising market.
Products and services
The company develops, manufactures and supplies
hydraulic systems for remote control of valves in cargo,
ballast boom and coolant systems on board tankers
and dry cargo ships. The remote control systems are
also installed in production ships, rigs and permanent
offshore installations.
One of our key products is hydraulic actuators, mounted
directly on valves. The actuators are one of our designs
and manufactured at Rjukan. The control systems
for the actuators include magnetic valve centrals,
oil generators and PCbased terminals for system
operation.
There are no other concepts or technologies today
that can replace the company’s products, and they will
remain highly relevant in the foreseeable future.
The company has a strong commitment to after sales
and service. The organisation is well prepared to deliver
na I nd us trie r A S A
tailormade solutions for customer adapted applications
and short delivery times.
Development
To meet competition and demands for cost efficient
solutions, the company has a continuous programme
for developing and improving products and production
methods. The development is largely made in
collaboration with external partners with a strong
competence within the subject fields.
PC and PLS based control systems are improved and
adapted to the customer’s demands for functionality.
The market demand for large packages, with integrated
level measuring systems, among other things, has led
to our development of a total concept, encompassing
several functions.
An increasing share of machining is done by fully
automatic, unmanned machines. Manual installation
work is made more efficient by improved methods and
effective remedy use.
Efficiency and flexibility are strengthened throughout
the entire value chain – from sales and manufacture,
to logistics and delivery of the finished product. The
company has adopted and implemented systems and
routines adhering to the “Lean Production” philosophy.
Markets and customers
The company’s traditional customers are shipyards
building larger ships (all types of tankers and dry cargo
ships) and offshore vessels (rigs, drill ships and fPSOs).
The company has also delivered valve control systems
for permanent installations in the North Sea.
The main market is China and Korea, while Singapore
and Brazil is expected to become more important in the
years to come. The company also supplies equipment
to customers in Norway, Germany, Croatia, Spain,
Turkey, Russia and North America.
The market in South Korea is served by the subsidiary
Scana Korea Hydraulics Ltd. Scana Skarpenord
supplies system solutions and key components from
Norway, while sales, engineering, assembly and testing
is performed by the subsidiary in SouthKorea. In 2010,
the company has secured significant deliveries to Total’s
fPSO at the Clov field, commissioned by Daewoo.
Aside from shipyards and suppliers in the yard industry,
shipowners are an important customer group, because
they directly choose equipment for their ships based on
quality, reliability and lifespan costs.
Hydraulic actuators and parts for these kinds of systems
are also supplied to valve producers and suppliers of
gas handling systems for LPG and LNG ships. Other
suppliers offering complete packages to the shipyards
for rebuilds, upgrades and modifications of the vessels
are also important customers.
Global network
In addition to the factory in South Korea, Scana
Skarpenord has a sales and service office in Shanghai
and employees in Singapore. The company also actively
utilises the offices of the Scana group in Brazil and
Houston regarding marketing, sales, spare parts and
service, in addition to a network of agents giving global
coverage.

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME) in the vicinity of Pusan in South Korea, is one of the world’s largest ship builders and one of the top three in Korea.
Scana Korea was established as a joint venture
company in 1998. The company was at the time a
minor supplier of valve remote control systems in Korea.
At present, the market share in Korea has reached
approximately 25 %. Consequently, the company is the
2nd largest local supplier in Korea. Scana’s ownership
is 49 %.
In 2010, the company has renewed the highest possible
qualification among Samsung shipyard suppliers. The
company’s order intake in 2010 is strengthened as a
result of good competitive power and several contracts
in South Korea, securing a robust order reserve
for 2011. By the end of 2010, the company had 50
employees and a turnover of NOK 180 million and a
satisfactory operating result.
Markets and customers
Scana Korea’s key customers are shipyards that build
larger types of ships, such as tankers, LNG tankers,
LNG carriers, LPG carriers, bulk carriers and large
offshore vessels, such as fPSOs (production ships),
rigs etc. The main customers are currently shipyards
at Hyundai, Samsung, DSME, STX, HyundaiMipo,
HyundaiSamho, SPP and other medium and small
sized shipyards in Korea.
In 2010, the company successfully completed
sophisticated valve remote control systems to two huge
fPSO projects (Pazflor and Usan). In 2011, the CLOv
project will be of prominent importance. Major Korean
shipyards are working on several offshore projects that
Scana Korea Hydraulic Ltd. will tender for.
Products and services
No other products or technologies can currently be
substituted for the company’s products. They will
generate a high level of interest in the foreseeable future.
The company includes tank level gauging systems in a
package delivery with valve remote control systems, and
as a result, the contract volume per project is increased.
