Wärtsilä propulsion solution chosen for new LNG bunkering vessel
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 9 November 2015 at 10 am EET
A new 5800 m3 LNG bunker and feeder vessel, being built for Sirius Veder Gas AB
at Royal Bodewes, Hoogezand, in the Netherlands, will be powered by a Wärtsilä
propulsion solution. The contract with Wärtsilä was placed in September.
The Wärtsilä propulsion package will comprise a 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF dual-
fuel main engine capable of running on either LNG or diesel, a reduction gearbox
with power take-off (PTO), a shaft line suitable for use with environmentally
friendly lubricants and equipped with a Wärtsilä Airguard aft seal that allows
zero emissions, and a Wärtsilä controllable pitch propeller.
Wärtsilä has unequalled experience in providing dual-fuel propulsion solutions
for the LNG shipping market, and the latest Wärtsilä 34DF engine version
features high power output and reduced fuel consumption in both gas and diesel
modes. In gas mode, the vessel will comply with the IMO's Tier III NOx emission
regulations without need of secondary exhaust cleaning systems.
"Since Wärtsilä introduced dual-fuel engine technology, more than 1300 Wärtsilä
DF engines have been ordered. Similarly, bunkering & feeder vessels such as this
one are also increasingly taking advantage of our proven technology. This
extensive experience adds tremendous value as it allows us to provide expert
engineering and project support to the yard, which importantly saves time and
reduces risk," says Göran Österdahl, General Manager, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions
.
"We are committed to developing energy-efficient solutions for small to mid-size
LNG shipping. The use of LNG as a marine fuel is rapidly increasing and there is
growing demand for efficient bunker and feeder vessels. Wärtsilä has both the
technology and the experience necessary to meet the needs of this market," says
Jan Valkier, CEO of Anthony Veder.
When delivered, the ship will be operated on a long-term charter by Skangass,
the leading player in the Nordic and Finnish LNG markets. Sirius Veder Gas AB,
the owners of the new vessel, is a joint venture formed between Sirius Rederi of
Sweden and the Netherlands based Anthony Veder Group.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in 2016 and the vessel is due
to be delivered in February 2017.
