Netherlands-based shipping company, Spliethoff, has chosen Wärtsilä systems for two dynamically-positioned B-type multipurpose vessels currently under construction at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding in China.
The 141m-long DP2 ships are intended to supply cargo to offshore installations. The Wärtsilä package includes a Wärtsilä 32 main engine, four Wärtsilä 20 engine generator sets, selective catalytic reduction systems for all of the engines, four transverse and two retractable thrusters, a controllable pitch propeller and a Pro-Touch propulsion control system.
Luuk Hijkema, Wärtsilä Marine account manager, commented: ʺHaving single-source supplier capabilities allows us to deliver fully integrated solutions that create real value for the owner. Such is the case with this order, added to which we have been able to utilise our experience and in-house know-how by partnering in the concept design.“
