Wärtsilä and SAACKE team up on gas

The two companies will cooperate on safety, in particular with inert gas systems (IGS) and gas combustion units (GCU). The agreement will also enable both partners to offer more comprehensive scopes of supply, benefitting customers in the form of technology capability, cost savings, improved services and easier procurement procedures.

“Our agreement with Wärtsilä extends our long-standing cooperation to a strategic partnership,” said Peter Breidenich, director of marine systems at SAACKE. Geir Hellum, product line manager, inert gas systems, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions said that the agreement brings benefit to both the two companies and the customers. “We are confident that by working closely together, we can improve performance for all of us,” he said.

The agreement, which will target the LNGC and LPGC markets, covers SAACKE’s boilers, exhaust gas economisers and air-cooled GCUs, as well as Wärtsilä’s IGS and combined IGS/GCUs. Wärtsilä will also make its flue gas system available to SAACKE, thereby making it possible for a single delivery of a boiler and flue gas system.
