The vessels will also feature Wärtsilä’s gearbox, fitted with ‘take-me-home’ functionality, and a controllable pitch propeller (CPP).
Furthermore, the vessels will be equipped with propulsion shaft lines, including seals and bearings, as well as the shaft generator and Wärtsilä’s ProTouch propulsion control system.

Constructed at the Incat yard in Tasmania, Australia, the new vessel is claimed to be the world’s largest aluminium catamaran.
