W?rtsil? will supply a comprehensive package of propulsion machinery for a new asphalt carrier vessel being built at the Wuhu Shipyard in China for Canadian operator McAsphalt Marine Transportation. This is the 22nd order placed by the Wuhu yard for W?rtsil? propulsion solutions, thus emphasising the strong relationship between the two companies. This latest order was placed in August 2021. This is the third order for dual-fuel propulsion systems signed by the two parties this year. A strategic cooperation agreement was signed at the same time, marking a new stage of cooperation between Wuhu Shipyard and W?rtsil?. Both parties are committed to working on the research and development of green energy solutions in the shipbuilding field. The dual-fuel engines selected emphasise the vessel?s design focus on environmental sustainability, while the Energopac rudder solution is a proven fuel-saving technology for controllable and fixed pitch propeller applications. It features advanced hydrodynamic technology and outstanding vessel maneuverability, as well as improved onboard comfort levels compared to conventional propeller and rudder configurations.
