On June 9 June, Wartsila in a press release announced that Royal Caribbean International’s Harmony of the Seas’, the world’s largest cruise ship, features the biggest marine exhaust scrubber installation so far in the world.
Wartsila said that the two Wärtsilä hybrid scrubber systems represent the world’s biggest marine exhaust scrubber installation so far. They feature the latest in exhaust cleaning technology thus minimising sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions and allowing the vessel to comply with emission control regulations around the world. Wärtsilä hybrid scrubber system solutions have the flexibility to operate in both open and closed loop using seawater to remove SOx from the exhaust.

Besides that the Harmony of the Seas is powered by four 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 46F engines and two 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 46F engines, featuring best-in-class fuel economy, and outstanding power-to-weight and power-to-space ratios. For effective manoeuvring, the ship has four Wärtsilä CT3500 transverse thrusters.
“Wärtsilä congratulates both Royal Caribbean and STX France on this milestone delivery of the world’s largest cruise ship. We are proud to have been selected to provide a comprehensive scope of Wärtsilä solutions and we wish good luck and success for the vessel throughout its lifecycle,” says Fred Danska, Director, Cruise Business, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
