Atair is presently finishing building and construction at the Fassmer shipyard in Berne, Germany
The Atair, a 75 meter long and also approximately 17 meter broad study vessel incomplete at the Fassmer shipyard in Berne, Germany, is geared up with Schottel propulsion systems.
Ordered by the German Federal Maritime and also Hydrographic Agency (BSH), the vessel fulfills the highest possible ecological criteria and also is thought to be the very first LNG-fueled seagoing federal government firm vessel.
The ship is powered by 2 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 20DF dual-fuel engines efficient in working on either LNG or traditional fluid fuels., Wärtsilä’s supply range additionally consists of one 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 20 engine, 2 exhaust cleansing systems based upon careful catalytic decrease (SCR) modern technology, and also a Wärtsilä LNGPac gas storage space, supply, and also control system.
SCHOTTEL PROPULSION
The propulsion system makes up a Schottel Pump Jet kind SPJ 220 (1,000 kW), one Schottel Transverse Thruster kind STT 1 FP (330 kW) in the bow and also one Schottel Transverse Thruster kind STT 170 FP (200 kW) in the demanding.
The Schottel system provides the vessel optimum maneuevrability, while the Pump Jet can additionally be utilized as a standby device (take-home tool).
The Schottel propulsion systems are additionally identified by specifically reduced sound discharges. This guarantees a secured maritime setting in addition to ideal problems for clinical job aboard the vessel. The vessel’s undersea sound has actually been maximized to satisfy the DNV QUIET course symbols (QUIET R).
