Wärtsilä’s R&D has won another order for the company’s LPG Fuel Supply System (LFSS).

BW LPG, the world’s largest LPG shipping company, has ordered the system to be retro- ? tted to three very large gas carrier (VLGC) vessels. BW LPG had previously ordered four

Wärtsilä LFSS’ in 2018, and an additional eight systems in February 2020. This latest order placed in November 2020, thus brings the total

This is combined with independent vessel tracking and shore-based data delivery service for 100% of fuel data collected.

Through new access to FUELNET – the secure logistics web portal used to analyze FuelTrax data – CBO will track day-to-day opera- tions from live updates for all fuel activities performed out at sea.

The X Titan10

The X10 Titan range from Atlas Incinerators is designed to save shipown- ers and shipyards money while shrinking their environmental footprint. The

X10 Titan range was designed to incinerate sludge oil and simultaneously burn solid waste while consuming a minimum of energy. While there is a signi? cant improvement in the X10 Titan’s combustion speci? cations, the real game-changer according to the manufacturer is that the sludge oil does not have to be heated prior to being burnt, which means that the incinera- tor consumes a minimum amount of energy. The control system on the X10

Titanhas also been upgraded to offer the latest in HMI technology, and the speci? cations of the X610 offer signi? cant improvements compared with the

ATLAS 600. The X610, the ? rst in the X10 Titan series, has obtained a MED- type approval certi? cate issued by DNV GL.
