China's new two marine geological survey vessels will use multiple Wärtsilä engines and propellers

It is reported that two new marine geological survey vessels in China will use multiple Wärtsilä engine and propeller solutions, and the new supply contract will be signed with customers at the end of September this year. Currently in China, Wärtsilä has maintained a leading position in the development of power engineering systems for new scientific research and geological survey vessels in China. Since 2011, more than 70% of scientific and geological survey vessels manufactured by Chinese shipyards have been adopted. Wärtsilä power system solutions.

Qingdao Ocean Geology Research Institute and Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey Bureau commissioned Shanghai Shipyard Ship Co., Ltd. under China National Shipbuilding Corporation and Guangdong COSCO Shipyard Engineering Co., Ltd. under China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co., Ltd. as construction units. The shipbuilding contract has been Signed on June 16 this year. Wärtsilä's outstanding performance and experience in providing power solutions for this type of vessel is a major factor in its ability to win orders again.

It is understood that the Qingdao Marine Geology Institute has a new captain of 79.8 meters and a displacement of 4,400 tons. Wärtsilä will supply the ship with four Wärtsilä 9-cylinders and a 4-cylinder in-line 20 engine, two thrust thrusters and two sets of stern shaft tubes and seals. It is expected to be delivered to the shipyard in July 2016. The Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey has a new ship captain of 75.8 meters and a displacement of 3,300 tons. The ship will be powered by three Wärtsilä 6-cylinder in-line 26 engines and a Wärtsilä 4-cylinder in-line 20 engine. The propeller and two full-slewing main thrusters provide propulsion power to the ship. Equipment delivery will begin in the spring of 2016. The Wärtsilä WTT-11 side push and WST-21 full swing propeller represent the latest developments in this technology.

The scientific research ship usually has different operating modes, so the propulsion equipment needs to have sufficient operational flexibility. Wärtsilä has always been committed to developing solutions to meet the special requirements of scientific research vessels. Not only that, Wärtsilä has been providing fluid dynamics model testing for ship research institutes to optimize the operation of propulsion devices.

Hans Laheij, Sales Director, Middle East and Asia, Wärtsilä Marine and Marine Solutions, said: “We are proud to have been selected to provide propulsion equipment for these important geological survey vessels. We are committed to providing reliable and efficient propulsion systems. The solution, compact size, high fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness, has established a leading position in the Chinese market. We also have the most comprehensive global service network in the industry, no matter where the ship is located in the world. Wärtsilä can provide fast and efficient repair service support to enhance the added value of the shipowner."

Both ships are expected to be handed over to the shipowner in 2017.
