Wärtsilä has won contracts from shipbuilder Kleven Maritime of Norway to supply the design for the LNG powered platform supply vessel (PSV) recently ordered by Rem Offshore. The scope of the order also includes the propulsion machinery, automation and other equipment, MarineLog reports.
Rem Offshore's new LNG powered PSV, the first such vessel for its fleet, will be a Wärtsilä Ship Design VS499 LNG PSV, a state-of-the-art vessel based originally on the successful VS489 LNG PSV design. The ship features outstanding energy efficiency, a unique hull form, fuel flexibility, and exceptional performance in areas such as fuel economy and cargo capacity.
In addition to the complete design of the vessel, Wärtsilä's scope of supply for the new PSV includes the dual-fuel main engines and generating sets, the electrical power and propulsion systems, integrated automation, and the power management system. The selection of Wärtsilä's dual-fuel (DF) technology, which enables the use of clean gas as the main fuel, is in line with Rem Offshore's ambition to grow its fleet in environmentally sustainable PSVs. The DF engines can also operate on marine diesel oil if required.
This is the third new contract for an LNG powered PSV recently booked by Wärtsilä , which says that its ability to offer total concept solutions that include the design of the vessel, the propulsion plant, electrics and automation, and a host of fuel saving and environmentally sustainable options, gives it a competitive edge.
Wärtsilä's gas electric propulsion system configuration is based on a combination comprising the Low Loss Concept for Electric Propulsion, the Wärtsilä 34DF main engines, and the recently introduced Wärtsilä 20DF engine.
