Wärtsilä president and CEO Jaakko Eskola said: “Wärtsilä has taken a leading position in both the energy and shipping markets as a developer of advanced technology solutions that enable the practical and efficient use of natural gas fuel.

“This agreement with Gasum will help speed the transition to gas fuel and advance environmental sustainability.”

Both the companies will further share knowledge, contacts, marketing, and business development activities.

Apart from developing low-cost and efficient operation and maintenance activities, the companies will develop a market for LBG.

Wärtsilä currently provides gas value chain technology know-how, while Gasum is involved in the distribution and sale of natural gas and biogas.

Recently, Wärtsilä won a contract to provide the re-gasification system for a floating, storage, re-gasification unit (FSRU) conversion project, which will be conducted by Höegh LNG on a modern LNG vessel.
