The modern technology team Wärtsilä’s exhausts reduction modern technology is once more identified with a brand-new order. The firm will certainly give its Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Recovery System, along with an LNG Fuel Gas Supply System, for 2 brand-new 124,000 DWT shuttle bus vessels.
The ships have actually been purchased by Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers (KNOT), a leading independent proprietor as well as driver of shuttle bus vessels, as well as will certainly be constructed at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & & Marine lawn inKorea The order with Wärtsilä was positioned in April.
With this modern technology, the melted VOC is combined with LNG as well as made use of as gas for the primary as well as supporting engines. By making use of LNG as the main gas as well as supplementing this with the power recouped from the VOC, these vessels will certainly have the ability to reduce their exhausts of CARBON DIOXIDE matchings by 30 to 35 percent, a minimum of 30,000 lots each year, contrasted to traditional oil-fuelled shuttle bus vessels. These financial savings are approximately the matching of the overall exhausts from about 20,000 automobiles.

“Wärtsilä has developed its VOC abatement technology over the past 20 years, and our competence in this field is unmatched in the marine sector. It means that for these vessels, with the combination of Wärtsilä’s VOC Recovery and LNG fuel systems, they will not only be extremely sustainable environmentally but will also be commercially attractive. The VOCs that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere can instead be burned as fuel,” claims Hans Jakob Buvarp, General Manager, Sales, Wärtsilä Marine.
“Our industry is rapidly changing towards greater environmental awareness and improved operational efficiency. These two new ships will reflect this change, thanks largely to Wärtsilä’s advanced technology. They will truly represent the new generation of shuttle tankers, with vastly reduced emissions and lower fuel costs,” claims Jarle Østenstad, New Building Director, Knutsen OAS.
The Wärtsilä options will certainly be provided to the lawn beginning in November of this year. When provided, the vessels will certainly run in the North Sea oil areas.
