Wärtsilä fuel efficient propulsion equipment chosen for two new fishing vessels


Two new 78 metre purser/trawler fishing vessels being designed and built at Karstensen Shipyard in Denmark will feature Wärtsilä’s main propulsion and control equipment. The ships have been contracted by Lunar Fishing, the Scotland based fishing company and will operate in the North Sea. The Wärtsilä order
was placed in September 2014. For each vessel, Wärtsilä’s scope of supply includes a 9 cylinder in-line Wärtsilä 32 engine, a 2-speed gear with power take-off function (PTO), a Wärtsilä Controllable Pitch propeller 4E1095 complete with shaft line, seals & bearings, stern tube, High Performance nozzle (HP-Nozzle) etc and the new Wärtsilä Protouch propulsion control system.

 The equipment for the first vessel will be delivered at the end of 2015, and for the second vessel in summer 2016. The selected propulsion package features a number of important benefits that were key considerations in the award of the contract.

 The combination of the well proven Wärtsilä 32 engine, which combines outstanding output power of 580 kW per cylinder with excellent fuel efficiency, with the company’s new 2-speed gear solution offers both operating cost (OPEX) savings and high overall propulsion efficiency.

Similarly, Wärtsilä’s latest technology propulsion control system ensures ease of operation and easy integration with other onboard systems. The touch screen control system was the winner of the prestigious Red Dot design award in 2013.
