Greater earning power

Dual-fuel-electric machinery, combining multiple WÄRTSILÄ ® dual-fuel engines with an electric propulsion system, enables LNG carrier operators to get more out of their ship than with a traditional steam turbine installation. Higher efficiency and the increase in the ship’s cargo carrying capacity pave the road to substantially higher revenues. At the same time, exhaust gas emissions are significantly reduced and machinery redundancy improved. Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines run primarily on gas, but can alternatively be operated on MDO or HFO. This gives operators full flexibility to select the most economical fuel. The Wärtsilä service network with more than 6000 professionals worldwide provides the best support for your machinery and propulsion system anywhere at any time.
