摘要

Waertsilae dual-fuel engines capable of running on LNG or conventional diesel fuels will power 16 new gas carrier ships being built in Japan for Japanese owners. The order is for 20 nine-cylinder, 25 six-cylinder and 16 eight-cylinder Waertsilae 50DF dual-fuel engines. "We at Waertsilae have always been at the forefront in making it possible, through our technologies, for LNG to become a viable marine fuel," said Lars Anderson, Vice President, Waertsilae Marine Solutions. "This experience, our unmatched track record in gas propulsion applications, and our well proven dual-fuel solutions are why these contracts were awarded to Waertsilae."
