The introduction of automation across the management and control of the vessel is said to have promoted flexibility and consistency between systems while allows to explore opportunities to reduce the overall operational expenditure.

Maersk Line Ship Management senior general manager Jørgen Hansen said: "With the ongoing and growing need for data availability, both internally as well as externally, Maersk Line finds the Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum an attractive solution.

"We also foresee many synergies across the three projects, not only in the design phase but also later when the vessels enter service, since operations with further innovation and developments are simpler and faster with one single supplier responsible for the whole system, rather than with several."

Last month, Wartsila had been selected by Shanghai Bestway Marine Engineering Design to design and develop a new type of deep water dive support vessel to be built for China’s state-owned Shanghai Salvage Bureau (SSB).
