Seven twin shipsets of HT810s have been ordered for patrol boat projects in Taiwan with the first of these recently exceeding expectations at sea trial.

Wärtsilä, Ecospec on Clean Power Solutions

Wärtsilä and Ecospec Global

Technology, owner of the CSNOx emissions abatement technology, recently signed a Memorandum of

Understanding (MOU) to work together towards the common goal of improving the environment by pro- viding the world with clean power solutions. By combining the joint expertise of Wärtsilä and Ecospec, the carbon footprint of both marine and onshore heavy industries can be sig- nificantly reduced through the devel- opment of clean power solutions. The aim is to achieve the lowest possible

CO2 emissions, near zero SOx emis- sions — even when using heavy resid- ual fuel, and to attain the capability to meet future NOx emission require- ments. Under the MOU, Wärtsilä is responsible for integrating the

CSNOx system into various engine applications. This includes the engi- neering, installation, supervision, project management and commis- sioning of the system for both new- buildings and retrofits. Ecospec, as the supplier of the CSNOx system, would be responsible for supplying the key components of the system.
