Wärtsilä will begin the delivery of equipment to the yard next year, with the vessels anticipated to enter service in 2024.

Wärtsilä Marine Power large projects sales general manager Jens Karlsson said: “Wärtsilä has a long-standing relationship with Karstensens Shipyard and we are proud and pleased to be again selected as the propulsion provider for this series of modern purser/trawlers.

“Repeat orders are always a good indicator of customer satisfaction, and are a validation of our focus on efficiency, reliability and environmental sustainability.”

Earlier this month, Wärtsilä also received an order for the supply of a propulsion package for a new high-speed catamaran ferry.

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