Wärtsilä cargo system and LFSS for new VLGCs
The 93,000m3 capacity vessels are among the largest of this type ever built. Wärtsilä is currently the only company with LPG fuel supply systems in operation and has a significant number of these units on order. The onboard Wärtsilä solutions will be supported by the company’s digital operational performance improvement and monitoring system to provide real-time data aiding optimal operational efficiency.
This new very large gas carrier is the fourth generation of VLGC developed by Jiangnan. “Its advanced and optimal technology and system, its comprehensive economic and technical performance are in the leading level of the industry,” said Lin Qinshan, vice president and commercial director of Jiangnan Shipyard.
Kjell Ove Ulstein, director of sales and marketing at Wärtsilä Gas Solutions said the company was delighted to win the contract. “We are a leader in gas cargo handling solutions and our innovative LFSS is an outstanding example of Wärtsilä’s ability to bring systems that raise efficiency and support environmental sustainability to the market,” he said.
