A new 12,500 cbm LNG bunkering vessel is being built for Vitol at the Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering shipyard in China, featuring Wärtsilä Cargo Handling and Fuel Gas Supply systems.
Wärtsilä has a long-standing relationship with Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering, and has supplied cargo handling systems for a number of LNG, LPG, ethane/ethylene, and multi-gas carriers built by the yard. The new bunkering vessel order featuring Wärtsilä’s systems was booked in Q4, 2024.
LNG is today an important marine fuel and is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for owners and operators seeking more sustainable fuel options.
…said Richie Zhu, Sales Manager, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, China.
Zhu continued by commenting that the market for LNG bunkering vessels is increasing in line with this trend, and the company has established a leading position in supplying modern and reliable systems that optimise overall cargo handling efficiency for such vessels.
