Wärtsilä has received an order to deliver generating sets for two new well intervention vessels for Siem Offshore, Norway. The vessels are built by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) in Flensburg, Germany.
Eight 6-cylinder in-line Wärtsilä 32 generating sets were chosen for each of these ships based upon the customer’s requirements for availability, reliability and economic fuel consumption. Each genset will be fitted with an SCR catalyst to clean the exhaust and NOx emissions to comply with the IMO’s Tier III environmental regulations. Delivery of the Wärtsilä equipment will commence in May 2015.
“Wärtsilä has a long and successful track record in working together with both FSG and Siem Offshore and we are again honoured to have been selected to supply solutions that are critical to the successful operations of these vessels. The Wärtsilä 32 engines are the most suitable for this project due to their overall performance in terms of fuel consumption, emissions, weight and size”, says Matthias Becker, general manager, Wärtsilä Ship Power in Germany. The 158m long ships will be delivered in 2016 and will operate in Brazilian waters.
