Regional Highlights 43
Vietnam
We won a €175-million con-
tract to build the 750-MW Ca
Mau II combined cycle power
plant in the countrys south-
ernmost province. The order
includes two state-of-the-art
gas turbines, one steam tur-
bine, three generators, all of
the plants electrical installa-
tions and all of its instrumen-
tation and control systems.
Coming on the heels of a
contract in 2005 to build the
750-MW Ca Mau I power plant,
this order has made us the
leading supplier of gas tur-
bines in Vietnam.
Malaysia
We received a €20-million or-
der to supply and install a
high-speed baggage handling
system at Kuala Lumpur Inter-
national Airport. KLIA is the
fifth airport in Asia after
Hong Kong, Seoul, Beijing and
Bangkok, where a new airport
was opened in September
2006 to select a baggage
handling system from
Siemens. The new system will
quickly and efficiently process
the baggage of passengers
whose final destination is
Kuala Lumpur.
South Korea
In October 2005, Korean utility
LG Energy awarded us a con-
tract for the turnkey con-
struction of its new 550-MW
Bugok II combined cycle pow-
er plant. The project is sched-
uled for completion in March
2008. As part of the order,
which is worth €140 million,
we’re supplying generators
and two gas turbines. It was
our success in Phase 1 of the
Bugok project that made us
the preferred supplier for
Bugok II.
Australia
In April 2006, we won a major
order to provide Queensland
Rail (QR) with 20 Class 3800
electric freight locomotives.
Including spare parts, the or-
der is worth €97 million. We’d
previously signed a contract
with QR to upgrade 60 electric
locomotives used in coal trans-
port. The upgrade will increase
the locomotivespower rating
and tractive effort by 67 per-
cent and extend their service
life by 20 years. The first up-
graded locomotive will go into
service in March 2007.
