Technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has announced that it will supply <\/p>\n

methanol-fuelled auxiliary engines for French giant CMA CGM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4<\/p>\n

The engines have been bought for six 15,000 TEU containerships being built <\/p>\n

at China\u2019s Dalian Shipbuilding yard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 received the order in the second quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The six containerships are the first CMA CGM vessels to be ordered using <\/p>\n

methanol fuel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Methanol is said to be crucial to the company\u2019s present decarbonisation <\/p>\n

aspirations since it emits less pollutants than diesel and can be generated from <\/p>\n

sustainable, renewable-based energy sources.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Xavier Leclercq, Vice-President of CMA SHIPS, said: \u201cOur goal is to achieve <\/p>\n

carbon neutrality by 2050. By fitting our future fleet with methanol systems, we <\/p>\n

will be making a serious contribution towards achieving this target.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, we require the experience and technological leadership <\/p>\n

that W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 provides in the development of reliable engines capable of <\/p>\n

operating with new, sustainable marine fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roger Holm, President of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Marine Power Business, stated: \u201cWe have <\/p>\n

worked closely with CMA CGM for many years, with both our companies sharing a <\/p>\n

commitment to decarbonising marine operations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are, therefore, honoured to have been selected to supply the <\/p>\n

methanol-fuelled engines for these newbuild vessels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to continuing to collaborate with CMA CGM on creating more <\/p>\n

responsible, more efficient, and more sustainable transportation solutions for <\/p>\n

the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The entire W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 scope for each vessel includes three six-cylinder and <\/p>\n

one seven-cylinder W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 32M engines with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) <\/p>\n

systems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The equipment will be supplied beginning in late 2024, and the vessel will <\/p>\n

be delivered in autumn 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In June 2023, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Automation, Navigation, and Control Systems (ANCS) <\/p>\n

and Swedish marine green tech company, Qtagg, announced a new innovative <\/p>\n

retrofit solution for W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s marine engine governor system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
