The Finnish technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has secured engines order for two CGN hybrid ferries.<\/strong><\/p>\n The company will <\/strong>supply the engines and related emissions control after-treatment systems.<\/p>\n The new passenger ferries will operate between Switzerland and France across Lake Geneva. <\/p>\n Shiptec yard<\/a> in Switzerland is building the vessels. General Navigation Company (CGN), a Swiss ferry operator based in Lausanne placed the order.<\/p>\n The high-speed W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 14 engines are compliant with the stringent EU Stage V emissions standard for inland waterway vessels. These regulations came into force in the EU earlier this year. <\/p>\n The 60 meters long, 700 passenger capacity vessels will feature advanced hybrid energy<\/a> and propulsion systems. High efficiency and environmental compliance were key factors in the selection of this engine.<\/p>\n W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will begin equipment delivery beginning in summer 2021. The first vessel is expected to commence commercial operations in December 2022. <\/p>\n Shiptec will deliver the second ferry approximately one year later.<\/p>\n The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 14 is the most compact engine in its power range in the marine market. It serves both propulsion and auxiliary genset applications. <\/p>\n The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 14 high-speed engine is available in 12- and 16-cylinder configurations. It has a power output between 749 and 1340 kWm in mechanical propulsion. In the auxiliary generating set and diesel-electric propulsion applications, it has an output between 675 and 1155 kWe.<\/p>\n The post CGN orders W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 engines for hybrid ferries<\/a> appeared first on Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Finnish technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has secured engines order for two CGN hybrid ferries.
