Finnish ship power supplier and decentralised power generation systems provider Wartsila Corporation said on Friday (31 March) that during the first two months of the year it had won orders for a further 16 Wartsila 50DF dual-fuel engines to power four LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers contracted in Korea.
Eight of the 16 engines ordered in January-February would be supplied to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) for installation in two LNG carriers ordered by the Norwegian company Bergesen Worldwide Gas.
The other eight engines have been ordered by the Korean companies Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, which are building LNG carriers for Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) in Japan.
In addition to these Wartsila 50DF dual-fuel engine contracts, the company has also received orders for the slightly smaller Wartsila 32DF dual-fuel engine type.
