Wärtsilä has been awarded the contract to provide integrated turnkey electrical
solutions for four new RoRo ferries being built at the Flensburger Schiffbau-
Gesellschaft (FSG) yard in Germany. The electrical systems to be delivered
include all products and services available from Wärtsilä SAM Electronics. The
vessels are contracted by SIEM RoRo Carriers Ltd., and two will be chartered to
Denmark's DFDS and two to EKOL of Turkey. The contract with Wärtsilä was signed
in the second quarter of this year.
The full Wärtsilä scope of supply covers the electrical systems engineering and
project management, supply and installation of the cables and equipment,
Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum navigation and automation, external and internal
communication systems, energy distribution, the lighting system, and the engine
control room consoles. The contract started immediately and first equipment is
scheduled for summer 2016.
The 11,000 deadweight ferries are 209 metres in length and have cabins for 12
drivers and capacity for 283 trailers.
"We have enjoyed a successful partnership with FSG for more than 20 years, and
we are proud that this good cooperation is continued with these four vessels.
The success of turnkey system integration depends very much on this kind of
close relationship," says Stephan Kuhn, Vice President, Electrical & Automation,

"Wärtsilä SAM Electronics are fully familiar with the products and support
required for these vessels, having repeated installations on these RoRo's for
many years. With the full integration and repeat of the systems, we expect an
