The company received the orders from the yard in May.
The equipment is expected to be supplied during the first half of 2022.
The scope of the order covers the system engineering and design, the boil-off gas (BOG) management control, with an integrated fuel supply system, and the custody transfer system.

By GlobalDataWartsila gas solutions sales manager Harald Øverland said: “We see an increasing adoption of LNG as fuel, and we are very pleased to have been selected for this project, which allows us to continue our role in developing the LNG infrastructure throughout all regions.
“Our unrivalled experience and market-leading position in the small-scale LNG segment and LNG bunkering designs was a key factor in securing these new orders.”
The shipping industry is witnessing an increase in the demand for specialised LNG bunkering vessels, triggered by the rise in the usage of LNG as a green fuel.
Recently, Wartsila secured an order to deliver its main engines and LNG fuel gas supply systems for two new LNG-fuelled escort tugs.
These tugs are being constructed for Canadian HaiSea Marine, a joint venture between the Haisla Nation and Seaspan Marine Transportation.
