Wärtsilä has added a new series of four LNG carrier ship designs to its ship design portfolio.
The four vessel types, the WSD59 3K, WSD59 6.5K, WSD55 12K, and WSD50 20K, have all been designed to suit the global LNG infrastructure and are available for both ocean going and inland water operations. The concepts are to enable the lowest possible fuel consumption and offer custom options to meet specific needs.
Fuel Consumption
The WSD59 3K design offers fuel consumption of 7.5 t/d at a service speed of 14 knots. The design draft is 4.75 metres. The fuel consumption for the WSD55 12K design vessels is 13.5 t/d at a service speed of 14.5 knots, a frontrunner in its class. The design draft is 6.2 metres. The fuel consumption for vessels based on the WSD50 20K design is 18.1 t/d at a service speed of 15 knots. The WSD59 6.5K design offers a fuel consumption of 11.0 t/d at a speed of 13 knots. The design draft is 5.8 metres.
The new designs have been developed at the Wärtsilä Ship Design offices in China and Poland.
