WARTSILA, SHI INK DEAL TO DEVELOP GAS-FUELLED SHIPS

摘要

Ship power integrator Wartsila and Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) recently signed a co-operation agreement to develop commercial ships that use LNG as fuel to meet or exceed stricter future environmental regulations.rnThe LNG-fuelled vessels would have partcular relevanance in Emission Control Areas (ECAs). Wartsila's input will be related to the propulsion machinery, with particular reference to large bore, dual-fuel engines combined with mechanical propulsion solutions. SHI will concentrate on the design of highly efficient vessels incorporating fuel storage facilities and gas-powered propulsion machinery.
