Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum System selected for all three Maersk line new building projects
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 21 March 2016 at 11.45 am EET
Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply the Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum integrated
navigation, automation, and propulsion control systems for 27 new container
vessels being built for Denmark based Maersk Line A/S. The contracts with
Wärtsilä were signed in July and October 2015, and January 2016.
The vessels are under construction at yards in China and South Korea. With these
orders, the latest 47 new buildings in the Maersk line fleet will all be fitted
with the Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum system, thus emphasising its market application
success. Wärtsilä will also provide a power management system and control
consoles, as well as external communication facilities. The Wärtsilä equipment
is scheduled for delivery to the yards commencing in April 2016.
The integrated Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum system covers the control systems for
navigation, automation, power and propulsion. By integrating all these functions
into a single system, the vessel can be navigated, controlled, and monitored
from various onboard positions. The truly multi-functional operator stations
enable unequalled flexibility and convenience.
The increasing levels of automation and ship wide connectivity of essential
sources of information continue to present opportunities for further operational
expenditure reductions. Enhanced data has the potential to underpin these cost
savings and become the bedrock of future competitive advantage.
"The broad scope of solutions to be provided by Wärtsilä represents further
evidence of the company's extensive portfolio to the global shipping industry.
Wärtsilä's capability to offer owners and operators fully integrated navigation
and automation control systems underlines the company's position as the market
leader for such systems - especially for high specification container vessels,"
says Stephan Kuhn, Vice President, Electrical & Automation, Wärtsilä Marine
Solutions.
"We are looking at a global service and support network as one parameter when
systems are selected," says Jørgen Hansen, Maersk Line Ship Management.
"Furthermore, with the ongoing and growing need for data availability, both
internally as well as externally, Maersk Line finds the Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum
an attractive solution. We also foresee many synergies across the 3 projects,
not only in the design phase but also later when the vessels enter service,
since operations with further innovation and developments are simpler and faster
with one single supplier responsible for the whole system, rather than with
several."
Wärtsilä has more than 50 years of experience in providing integrated
navigation, automation, communications, and propulsion control systems for all
types of ships. The company's Electrical & Automation capabilities feature
unique sector competences and a broad scope of offerings, including dynamic
positioning technology, power supply and conversion, safety and security,
entertainment systems as well as sensor, sonar and underwater communications
technology for the marine, naval and offshore markets.
