The technology group Wärtsilä has successfully completed its first commercial installation of the Wärtsilä Navi-Harbour WebVTS 5.0 software application.

A partnership between Finnish technology group Wartsila and Grieg Edge, the innovation hub of Norwegian shipping group Grieg Star, has received funding support by the Norwegian government of 46.3 million NOK (4.4 million EUR), to build the world's first green ammonia-fueled tanker. 

The technology group Wärtsilä, recently delivered and installed customised LNGPac bunkering and liquid cargo handling simulators in an effort to enhance crew training operations.

Wärtsilä launched an analysis, highlighting that flexibility is the key to unlock higher levels of renewables in the next 10 years and enable a pathway to a net-zero energy system by 2050 or before.

Warstila focuses on the "bright side" of the pandemic, noting that shipowners could use the pandemic downtime to upgrade and transform old ships into leaner and cleaner vessels fit for the future.

The technology group Wärtsilä along with Brazil-based offshore operator, CBO, joined forces for Latin America’s first hybrid vessel upgrade initiative.

Wartsila continues its collaboration with LUT University (Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT) aiming to the use of data in long-term strategic planning and thinking about how to meet the challenges of a 100% renewable energy future.  

In efforts to reach a full decarbonization, Greece is looking for ways to achieve 100% decarbonization across hundreds of inhabited islands, following Wärtsilä’s power system modelling.

Warstila's new report focuses on the G20's packages that will support energy systems, providing details on the modelling scenarios the US and the UK, which are following to support legacy energy systems.

With the IMO 2020 regulations already up and running, as well as the promise of further mandates down the line, are pushing ship designs forward, Wartsila believes.
