Power & Propulsion

Micro turbine generators are more expensive and not quite as fuel efficient as diesel units, but with only one rotating part they can be smaller, quieter, lighter and require less maintenance.

Thanks to the latest shore connection technology, three ferries will cut emissions and noise pollution when berthed in the French Port of Marseille.

Wärtsilä thrusters have helped ensure successful sea trials for the world’s largest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV).

A new trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) will become energy-efficient with the installation of a shaft generator on the main engine, which generates the electricity for the entire dredging installation.

A Swedish distributor has held multiple test trips with a commercial grade RIB and diesel outboard package demonstrated at the Marstrand Boat Show and All at Sea events.

A European Space Agency grant will help to more accurately calculate potential fuel savings for commercial vessels moving to wind propulsion.

A Scottish university has received funding to lead a project to develop a new battery technology that could provide lower cost long life-cycle energy storage.
