The brand-new Wasaline RoPax ferryboat unfinished by Finnish shipbuilder Rauma Marine Constructions (see earlier story) will certainly have a crossbreed propulsion option integrating double gas (LNG/biogas as well as diesel/SCR) equipment as well as batteries, attached to azimuth thrusters/pods.
The propulsion option will certainly include 4 very reliable Wärtsilä 31DF dual-fuel engines efficient in operating dissolved gas (LNG) as well as biogas. Wärtsilä will certainly additionally provide the LNG storage space, supply as well as control systems, along with the thrusters, catalysators, controls, in addition to the incorporated electric as well as automation systems which will certainly include a power as well as power administration system to maximize the usage as well as procedure of the hybrid power option.
BIG CUT IN CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
The mix of the Wärtsilä 31DF engines, crossbreed propulsion, as well as LNG as well as BioLNG gas will certainly establish a brand-new standard in effectiveness as well as sustainability. Carbon dioxide discharges, for instance, will certainly be minimized by greater than half contrasted to Wasaline’s existing ferryboat offering this path.
“Shipbuilding in Rauma has a history dating back some 600 years. During that time all kinds of vessels have been delivered, but never has there been a ship like this new Wasaline ferry,” claims Jyrki Heinimaa, President as well as CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,Rauma Marine Constructions The effectiveness degree is really high, as well as the crossbreed innovation utilized lead to very little exhaust discharges. We are happy to be able to state that we constructed this ship.”
“This ferry project represents the perfect alignment of a lifecycle Wärtsilä solution with the lowest possible environmental impact,” claims Henrik Wilhelms, Segment Sales Director, Wärtsilä Marine, that kept in mind that Wärtsilä had actually functioned very closely with NLC Ferry, which runs the Wasaline solution, for greater than 5 years in the growth of the modern vessel.
Wärtsilä’s tools supply is increased by a 10-year solution contract in addition to a contract that enables Wärtsilä to use the vessel as an R&D examination system as well as innovation demonstrator.
The brand-new ship will certainly suit 800 guests as well as will certainly have 1500 lane meters offered for vehicles as well as guest automobiles.
