Wärtsilä options are supplying exceptional efficiency for 2 brand-new yanks run by the Turkish Directorate General ofCoastal Safety Image copyright Yutek
The initially of 2 brand-new tugboats being constructed for the Turkish Directorate General of Coastal Safety provided remarkable outcomes on sea tests that consisted of a bollard draw licensed at 75 heaps by the Turkish Lloyd category culture. That vessel is currently in procedure, while its sis vessel is readied to get in solution following month.
Both yanks have actually been integrated in Eregli, Turkey, under task administration by a Yutek Shipyard website group.
The yanks’ remarkable efficiency is accomplished via the mix of a 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 26 engine as well as a Wärtsilä WST-24 steerable thruster, regulated by a Wärtsilä ProTo uch propulsion remote system.
“Wärtsilä was selected based on its strong track record and global reputation,” claims Yucel Tekin, Owner ofYutek Shipyard “The tugs have excellent pulling power, thanks to the engines and thrusters selected.”
To attain 75 TBP, keeps in mind Wärtsilä, an eight-cylinder engine would typically be called for, as well as reaching this degree of drawing power with less cyndrical tubes has a favorable influence on both funding as well as operating expense.
“The combination of improved performance with compact equipment is already proving to be a great success for these 32 m long tug boats. Wärtsilä is committed through its Smart Marine approach to enabling the highest possible efficiency for owners and operators, and this is one more prime example,” claims Murat Ergen, General Manager, Sales, Wärtsilä Marine.
The yanks will certainly run in Turkish waters on the Bosphorus Strait of Istanbul.
The Wärtsilä Steerable Thruster (WST) has actually been established in parallel with the most recent operating needs for yanks, river-going vessels, as well as numerous overseas assistance vessels. The purpose, similar to all Wärtsilä items as well as options, is to guarantee optimum effectiveness, high hydrodynamic efficiency, much less upkeep as well as much better availability for utility. With 8 thruster kinds, varying from 700 to 3200 kW, the WST allows these vessels to satisfy as well as go beyond the efficiency degrees needed for today’s affordable operating atmosphere.
