Wärtsilä has more than 50 years of experience in the gas carrier business, and the company’s latest technologies have been utilised to offer ‘LPG as fuel’ as a fully integrated part of the cargo handling system. The system is controlled by the state-of-the-art Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum integrated automation system in combination with the company’s remote process analytics software, which ensures optimised operability and safety.
The technology group Wärtsilä will provide an integrated cargo handling and fuel gas system for two new gas carrier vessels from Exmar, the Belgium-based fleet owner.
The ships, which will transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), are being built at HHIC-Philippines (Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Philippines) in Subic Bay. The design of these ships focuses on high efficiency and a more sustainable operational profile.
These new generation, 80,000m³ Very Large Gas Carriers will be the first vessel capable of running on LPG. This valuable order with Wärtsilä was booked in July, 2018.
