LONDON (AP) — Rolls-Royce Group PLC, the manufacturer of the plane engine that blew apart midair on a Qantas superjumbo earlier this month, says it has received the first order for a ship designed to slice through waves in extreme weather.
The London-based company said yesterday the £12 million ($19.10) order from Farstad Shipping includes an option for a second vessel at the same value.
