According to Wärtsilä, the contract was signed in Q4 2023, following an order placed by HMD.

This agreement further expands the relationship between HMD and Wärtsilä. In October 2023 Wärtsilä received an order for the fuel supply systems for two midsize gas carriers (MGCs) being constructed at HMD.

Through this new order, Purus will bolster its medium gas carrier fleet to eight vessels. According to Purus, the four vessels carry an “ammonia ready” propulsion and will be joining its Marcella, Green Power and Green Energy vessels.
