Wärtsilä Technology For LNG-Fueled Container Vessels
Wärtsilä will supply the liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel gas supply systems for four new container vessels being built for operator CMA CGM at the Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding yard in China. Wärtsilä’s full scope of supply includes the system engineering, a dedicated material package, the boil-off gas compressor skid delivery, as well as the supervision, commissioning, and testing of the fuel gas supply systems.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery to the yard in early 2024. The first two vessels are expected to be delivered in Q4 2025, and the remaining two vessels are to be delivered during the second half of 2026.
