A new platform supply vessel (PSV) to be built for operating in arctic conditions is to be designed and powered by Wärtsilä

In March 2014, Solvang ASA of Norway confirmed the option for Wärtsilä Open Loop Scrubber Systems to be installed aboard another of its LGC (Large Gas Carrier) vessels. This confirmation follows the order that the company placed in late December 2013 for two such vessels. The company has already taken delivery of Wärtsilä Open Loop Scrubber Systems, which have been installed aboard the VLGC (Very Large Gas Carrier) vessels, the ‘Clipper Quito' and ‘Clipper Posh'. One such order was announced in January 2012.The Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea is delivering all of these new Solvang vessels. In addition to these new build projects Wärtsilä has also in March 2014 signed a contract with Solvang to retrofit its Open Loop Scrubber System onboard the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) tanker "Clipper Harald". This installation is scheduled to be delivered in summer 2014. This now brings the total number of Solvang vessels to order Wärtsilä scrubber systems to six. Wärtsilä will also supply its Hybrid Scrubber Systems for four new Post-Panamax car carriers currently being built for Wilhelmsen Lines Shipowning Malta (WLSM), a subsidiary of Oslo-based Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA. The contracts were signed in the third quarter of 2013 and ...

The new Wärtsilä low-pressure, 2-stroke, dual-fuel engine (DF) has been endorsed with an important new order

With the introduction of its new Wärtsilä 46DF engine, Wärtsilä has once again raised the technology bar in the dual-fuel engine market. At the same time, it has strengthened its offering in the medium-speed engine sector.   The fuel flexible Wärtsilä 46DF engine has been specifically developed for the high-output market segment, including cruise ships and ferries, merchant vessels, LNG carriers and FSRUs (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit), and offshore vessels and platforms, and is capable of operating on natural gas, heavy fuel oil, or marine diesel oil. This fuel flexibility enables reduced operational expenses, compliance with the most stringent emission standards, and full redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operation. "With this newly launched product, Wärtsilä has raised the industry standard even higher, since it offers simultaneously drastically lower specific fuel consumption, both in gas and diesel fuel mode, remarkably higher output, and extremely attractive lifecycle costs compared to any other alternative currently available on the market," says Mr Lars Anderson, Vice President 4-stroke Sales, Wärtsilä Ship Power. Significant benefits for ship owners and operators The Wärtsilä 46DF consists of two different versions to meet specific customer needs.

Wärtsilä has signed three contracts with Aker Midsund of Norway to deliver its Vessel Internal Electrostatic Coalescer (VIEC) systems for three North Sea oilfields. The system enhances the speed and efficiency of the separation process of oil and water onboard in an environmentally safe manner. The contracts were signed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The systems are scheduled to be delivered between April and August 2014. VIEC will be utilized at the Gina Krog, Mariner, and Ivar Aasen oil fields in the North Sea. Aker Midsund AS is the Separation Package supplier for all three projects towards the EPC contract holders. Wärtsilä will in each project supply a complete VIEC system with all required elements, all vessel internal cabling and tubing, penetrators and stainless steel frames, supports, and other items including the power distribution. The systems will enable the quality of the oil and water to be notably improved. "Wärtsilä continues to actively develop new and innovative products to make oil and water separation more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally safe. The Wärtsilä VIEC technology offers a wide range of benefits, particularly in the lowering of both capital and operating expenditures," says Tore Lunde, Director, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions. With conventional separators, ...
