WE Tech receives LNG carrier order
The vessel, which has a 45,000m3 of cargo capacity, is owned by Saga LNG Shipping Pte and was built by China Merchants Heavy Industry.
Martin Andtfolk, sales manager at WE Tech, said: “With our WE Drive and the permanent magnet shaft generator technology, the energy efficiency of the machinery reaches unprecedented levels in the marine industry.”
The WE Drive technology allows the shaft generator to operate over the full main engine speed range while generating electricity for the vessel’s electrical network with high efficiency over the entire range.
WE Tech’s equipment is said to be able to provide the vessel’s electrical network with up to 1200kW of electrical power in Power Take Out (PTO) mode.
“Our vision is 30 % less fuel consumed in the global shipping industry by 2030,” concluded Mr Storbacka, managing director of WE Tech.
The equipment delivery from WE Tech will commence in October 2016.
