Wärtsilä has actually been gotten by Swedish ferryboat driver Stena Line to transform a few of its vessels to run with methanol gas.
The conversions will certainly consist of the gas supply system as well as engine alterations, along with incorporating the brand-new setups with the ships’ existing systems. The complete extent of the supply bundle will certainly consist of gas container instrumentation as well as shutoffs, transfer pumps, reduced stress pump skid, gas shutoff trains, methanol gas pump devices as well as the automation of the system, engine conversions, as well as automation upgrade for the engine control area.
Converting ferryboats for methanol gas will certainly allow them to be certified with numerous existing as well as upcoming guidelines, consisting of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), Fuel EU Maritime, as well as IMO 2050 GHG decrease target.
“As we continue to implement our strategy to decarbonise all our operations, we see methanol as a viable alternative fuel that will help us achieve this ambition. Wärtsilä has proven its capabilities to carry out the necessary conversions. This was shown eight years ago when they converted the Stena Germanica to operate with methanol, and our experience from this ground-breaking innovation has been very positive,” claimed Ian Hampton ofStena Line
The conversions are set up to happen in 2025.
