Det bliver Wärtsilä som skal levere motorer til de to færger, som australske TT-Line, har bestilt hos finske Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC).
“Since 2002 when the current vessels were inducted into our fleet, the Wärtsilä engines have delivered both performance and reliability backed by strong service and technical support. Keeping in mind the IMO’s stringent emission targets for the future, TT Line has opted for LNG fuelled ferries. Wärtsilä’s depth of experience and broad portfolio of LNG-fuel solutions for marine applications were prime considerations for us.”
Bernard Dwyer, Chief Executive Officer of TT-Line.
Wärtsilä skal til hver færge, levere 4 styk Wärtsilä 46DF hovedmotorer, samt 3 styk Wärtsilä 20DF hjælpemotorer. Samt LNG-tanke og styresystemerne til motorerne.
“We have worked closely with TT-Line for a number of years and are pleased and proud to continue this long-standing relationship via this latest newbuild project. We shall extend our best technical and operational support to TT-Lines’ new ferries. Wärtsilä has played a major role in enabling LNG to become a viable and increasingly popular marine fuel, and its adoption by global operators continues to grow. This order is a clear reflection of that trend.”
Mikko Mannerkorpi, General Manager, Sales, Wärtsilä Marine Power.
