              ROLLS-ROYCE TO DESIGN AND EQUIP SEVEN VESSELS FOR
                        BRAZIL'S NAVEGAÇÃO SÃO MIGUEL

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has been awarded two contracts to 
design and equip seven vessels for Brazilian ship owner Navegação São Miguel Ltd. 
The contracts, for four oil spill recovery vessels and three bunker tankers, 
are worth £23 million to Rolls-Royce.

Anders Almestad, Rolls-Royce, President Offshore, said: "Rolls-Royce continues
to win contracts in the competitive Brazilian market. These vessels combine a
proven Rolls-Royce design with a range of mission critical onboard technology,
which has been specifically designed for the demanding deepwater oil and gas
market. Our innovative technology will help to ensure that offshore companies
can deliver their challenging operations safely."

The Rolls-Royce designed UT 535 E Oil Spill Response Vessels (OSRV) will be
equipped to prevent environmental damage from oil spills and have the capacity
to transfer recovered oil for proper onshore disposal.

Rolls-Royce will also design and equip three bunker tankers, which will be a
new NVC 604 BT design and will supply fuel to ships offshore.

All seven vessels will be equipped with advanced Rolls-Royce technology to
support effective maneuvering, cargo handling and safe operation. All vessels
will be delivered before the end of 2014.
