Finland-based company Wärtsilä has provided engines, propulsion equipment, exhaust scrubber systems as well as various electrical and automation solutions, which are now in commercial operation, to Royal Caribbean International’s cruise ship ‘Harmony of the Seas’.
For the cruise ship, the company has also provided its NACOS platinum navigation and dynamic positioning systems, as well as Wärtsilä CCTV systems, which are now in commercial operation.
The two Wärtsilä hybrid scrubber systems installed on the Harmony of the Seas’ feature new exhaust cleaning technology and help minimising sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions.
The system can be operated in both open and closed loop using seawater to remove SOx from the exhaust.
Wärtsilä NACOS platinum navigation and dynamic positioning systems feature advanced integrated navigation technology for the cruise ship operators.
For the vessel, the company has also provided a house light dimming system for all public venues, a dimming system for the suites, and a low resolution LED wall for the theatre.
