Four vessels for Asia-Pacific ship owners
Wärtsilä Ship Design (WSD) Singapore has unveiled a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) design package aimed at ship owners and shipyards in the Asia-Pacific region, in conjunction with Asia Pacific Maritime 2014 event.
The WSD PSV series of four vessels, consisting of the WSD 600, WSD 750, WSD 800 and WSD 1000 designs in the deadweight range of 3000-5200 dwt, gives ship owners the opportunity to select the hulls best suited to their needs. The WSD PSV series designs can be customized to suit different operational requirements of the owner. The WSD PSV series, which was developed based on proven designs, is suitable for worldwide operational requirements, and optimized for the Asian shipbuilding process.
The primary benefits of the WSD PSV series include proven vessel designs based on the ship owners’ intended requirements, guaranteed vessel operational performance, and a fully integrated equipment solution.
“Sustainability and efficiency are top of mind for owners and shipyards today. Fuel efficiency, emissions management, lifecycle costs and reliability have become basic expectations when a vessel is ordered. Owners and yards get all these benefits with the WSD PSV series, coupled with designs that have been developed for the Asian shipbuilding industry,” said Jan Othman, Managing Director, Wärtsilä Ship Design Singapore.
“With cost efficiencies determining activity – including what kind of vessels to build and where to build them – ship owners and shipyards should take advantage of the total solution offering that comes with the WSD PSV designs. Wärtsilä Ship Design has a unique value proposition for clients in Asia, with capabilities to develop and deliver high-end designs with competitive building costs from our Singapore office. Wärtsilä’s one-stop proposition and strong local presence of Ship Design offices in Asia – combined with our extensive expertise in marine technologies – makes our value proposition attractive,” he added.
