The ships are being built for Swiss-Canadian Maritime Ltd and will be managed by Switzerland based ABC Maritime A.G.<\/p>\n
\u201cW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is a global leader and their propulsion and power generation systems are among the best in the world,\u201d said Chan Eng Yew, chief executive officer of Triyards Holdings Limited.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe are therefore confident that the technology of their systems will enhance the capabilities and performance of the chemical tankers we are building.\u201d<\/p>\n
The contract with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 was signed in November with an option for three more vessels. It represents the largest scope of supply that W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is to deliver to a shipyard in Vietnam.<\/p>\n
The ships will be powered by a six-cylinder W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X40-B two-stroke main engine designed by Winterthur Gas & Diesel, the joint venture between W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 and China State Shipbuilding Corporation. The engine contract has been agreed separately between Triyards Marine Services and Chinese two-stroke engine builder Yuchai Marine Power Co.<\/p>\n
For each vessel, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will also supply a controllable pitch propeller (CPP), a tunnel gearbox, a shaft alternator, two tunnel thrusters, three Auxpac generating sets and W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Propulsion Condition Monitoring System (PCMS).<\/p>\n
Hans Laheij, sales director at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine Solutions, said: \u201cThese are the first chemical tankers that the yards have been contracted to build, and W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s support and know-how for the engineering and systems integration is of considerable importance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to be working once again in Vietnam and are extremely pleased to be cooperating with Triyards in this important project,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 equipment is scheduled to be delivered to the yards during 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
