Wärtsilä receives order from Norway's Sartor ...
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade & Technical Press release, 10 March 2009
Wärtsilä, the leading ship power system integrator for the marine
industry, has received a ship design order from the Norwegian
shipping company Sartor Shipping AS. The order is for two Vik-Sandvik
465 FSV design vessels that will be built at the Wison Heavy Industry
shipyard in China. Wärtsilä scope of supply also includes two main
engines, gear boxes and propellers. Sartor Shipping has options for
further newbuildings at the yard. The vessels are due for delivery in
2010 and 2011.
The design incorporates a hybrid system that offers considerable fuel
savings compared to a purely diesel mechanical solution. This is
because the available power can be adjusted to meet the various
demands of the different operations that this type of vessel will be
used for. The savings will be particularly notable when operating at
lower power loads.
Multi-functionality is an extremely important feature of this design
as the vessels are intended for use in a multitude of different
tasks. These are likely to include offshore standby service,
emergency towing, oil spill recovery, ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle)
operations, fire fighting, tanker assistance and surface
surveillance.
The vessels will have redundant Dynamical Position system, DP II. The
speed of the vessels will be approximately 15.5 knots. The vessels'
length is 65.9 metres and the beam 18 metres. They will comply with
the Bureau Veritas (BV) 'Clean Ship' notation for pollution
prevention.
Wärtsilä acquired the global ship design group Vik-Sandvik in July
2008. This acquisition was a major step in Wärtsilä's strategy to
strengthen its position as a total solutions provider and to be the
most valued partner for its customers. By combining ship design
capability with its existing offering in propulsion systems and
automation, Wärtsilä is able to provide more added value to its
customers, with further growth potential in new lifecycle services.
Wärtsilä's goal is to become the leading provider of ship design
services in various segments.
