Wärtsilä 32 generating sets again the choice for Chinese container vessels
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 5 July 2016 at 1 p.m. EET
Wärtsilä has been awarded the contract to supply newbuild Chinese container
vessels with a total of 24 9-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 Auxpac generating sets. The
engines will power six 21,000 TEU ships being built at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao
Shipyard (SWS) for China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL). The order was placed
in June with Wärtsilä's joint venture company CSSC Wärtsilä Engine (Shanghai) Co
Ltd (CWEC).
Because of its reliability, efficiency, and high availability the Wärtsilä 32
Auxpac engine has become a popular choice for vessels in the upper end of the
shipping market. The Wärtsilä 32 is the most powerful of the company's Auxpac
range of generating sets. In March of this year, the engine was ordered for
eight new CSCL container ships; in January 2015 for five new container vessels
built for China Ocean Shipping Group (COSCO), and also in 2015 for another 11
new COSCO vessels. Four Wärtsilä 32 engines are required for each of these
ships.
"It is very clear that the Wärtsilä 32 Auxpac is the right choice for this
segment of the market. Repeat orders are the most solid endorsement of this
fact, and the engine is perfect for ships with an auxiliary power need in the
2500 kWe to 4500 kWe range," says Stefan Wiik, Vice President, Engines, Wärtsilä
Marine Solutions.
The Wärtsilä engines will be delivered to the yard commencing mid 2017.
The Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 engine
The Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 is the auxiliary engine version of the well-proven
Wärtsilä 32 family, of which more than 1200 engines are in operation worldwide.
It is Wärtsilä's most powerful Auxpac generating set and is aimed at the upper
end of the merchant shipping market, notably large container vessels with an
auxiliary power need of from 2500 kWe to 4500 kWe per generating set. This
powerful output, together with its compact design, gives it a power-to-space
ratio that is outstanding compared to alternatives on the market.
