The company is expected to deliver the equipment in September.
Earlier, Wartsila supplied both IGG and combined IGG/Gas Combustion Units to DSME.
It also delivered IGS for SCF Group’s crude oil tanker fleet and Arctic LNG Carrier series.
In January, Wartsila Marine Power received an order to deliver 46 dual-fuel engines for the same six LNG carrier vessels.
Recently, the company also announced plans to develop an autonomous intra-port, inter-terminal container barge to reduce container transportation bottlenecks at the Port of Rotterdam.
