The modern technology team Wärtsilä will provide Chantiers de l’Atlantique, France, an extensive plan of incorporated remedies developed to sustain and also improve the performance and also ecological sustainability of the initial 2 World Class cruise ship vessels being developed for Geneva, Switzerland based MSC Cruises.

The ships will certainly operate clean-burning LNG gas, and also with optimum ecological efficiency. The orders with Wärtsilä were put by Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Q3 2018 and also Q1 2019.

These will certainly be the initial 2 cruise liner to work on LNG with Wärtsilä 46DF engines and also with Wärtsilä LNGPac systems.

The cruise ship sector’s account as a whole is today significantly tailored in the direction of lasting procedures. Wärtsilä’s Smart Marine vision, where high degrees of digitalisation and also connection are made use of to supply higher effectiveness and also far better ecological efficiency, highly sustains this fad.

“The focus of our solutions is on reducing energy and fuel consumption in order to promote efficiency. At the same time, our nitrogen oxide reduction and LNG solutions enhance environmental sustainability, which together with the higher efficiency, is very much in line with Wärtsilä’s Smart Marine strategy,” claims Stefan Nysj ö, Vice President, Marine Power Solutions, Wärtsilä.

“We are very familiar with Wärtsilä’s products and they have always provided us with excellent support in newbuild projects. These two new cruise ships will represent the latest thinking in minimising the environmental impact and reducing fuel consumption, which is in line with our Ecorizon plan, and Wärtsilä is playing a major role in this,” claims Yves Pelpel, Technical Director, Chantiers de l’Atlantique

The complete extent of Wärtsilä’s supply of completely incorporated remedies consists of, for each and every of both vessels, 5 14-cylinder Wärtsilä 46DF dual-fuel engines fitted with nitrogen oxide decrease (NOR) systems, 2 Wärtsilä LNGPac gas storage space and also supply systems, 7 Wärtsilä thrusters, and also 2 Wärtsilä repaired pitch props. The Wärtsilä 46DF engines are IMO Tier III certified in gas setting and also are certified in aquatic diesel oil (MDO) setting in mix with the NOR systems. The Wärtsilä devices is set up for shipment in mid-2020 for the initial ship, and also in mid-2022 for the 2nd.

The steel reducing event for the initial of both vessels, the ‘MSC Europa’ was held at Chantiers de l‘Atlantique at the end of October and it is scheduled to be launched in May 2022. Delivery of the second World Class vessel is scheduled for 2024. MSC Cruises is the world’ s biggest independently held cruise ship driver, and also these 2 brand-new ships will certainly run worldwide.
