"The Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 engine is a good choice for this application since its design parameters are very much in line with the operational profile needs of the vessels."

It is suited for large container vessels with auxiliary power requirements from 2,500kWe to 4,500kWe per generating set.

The machine provides a power-to-space ratio that is said to attract the upper end of the merchant shipping market.

Wärtsilä Marine Solutions president Roger Holm said: "The Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 engine is a good choice for this application since its design parameters are very much in line with the operational profile needs of the vessels."

Last month, Wärtsilä’s joint venture company in China Wärtsilä CME Zhenjiang Propeller (WCME) was chosen by Greek shipping fleet operator, TMS Tankers, to supply its fixed pitch propellers (FPPs) to be installed in the new tankers, being constructed in China.
