The Wärtsilä VS 489 Gas PSV possesses enhanced energy efficiency, a new hull form, fuel flexibility and better vessel performance in areas such as fuel economy and cargo capacity.
The company said its gas electric propulsion system is based on a combination comprising the low loss concept for electric propulsion, the Wärtsilä 34DF main engines, and the recently introduced Wärtsilä 20DF engine.
