Wärtsilä to Provide Solutions for China’s First Seagoing LNG Bunker Vessel

Wärtsilä announced today it will provide solutions for China’s first seagoing LNG bunker vessel. The ship is being built by the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corporation for an affiliate of the ENN Energy holdings.

Wärtsilä will provide their 34DF dual-fuel main engine, the gearbox, controlled pitch propeller, shaft generator, two Wärtsilä 20DF dual-fuel auxiliary engines, and the ship’s sewage treatment plant. The equipment is scheduled for delivery in early 2020.

The 8500 m3 capacity vessel is the first newbuilding LNG bunkering vessel for ENN Energy Holdings. The new vessel is expected to begin operations in 2020. It will be based at the newly opened ENN Zhoushan LNG receiving & bunkering terminal in China’s eastern Zhejiang province. In addition to providing bunkering supply operations, it will also carry out gas testing services for LNG carriers and other LNG fueled vessels.
