Waertsilae and Samsung to develop gas-fuelled ships

摘要

Waertsilae and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have signed a co-operation agreement to develop gas-fuelled merchant vessels. The intention is to jointly develop next-generation ships with efficient and competitive propulsion machinery concepts that meet or exceed the demands of future environmental regulations.rnThe focus of the Waertsilae/SHI joint study will be on utilising liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel for operating vessels. This is especially relevant in Emission Control Areas (ECAs).
