UK troops with Wärtsilä power

Wärtsilä has been awarded the contract to supply diesel generating sets for two Bay class twin-screw diesel electric powered Alternative Landing Ships Logistic (ALSL) being built for the UK Navy. The four main diesel-generating sets in each ship will be powered by Wärtsilä 26s; each ship will have two 8L26 and two 12V26 engines. The company will also provide an emergency generating set for each ship. The ships will be built at Swan Hunter; there is an optional contract for a further two to be built at BAE Systems Govan.
