With new rules and regulations affecting the Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) market, Wärtsilä is launching a new PSV ship design at this year's Nor-Shipping exhibition being held in Oslo from June 2 to 5.
Wärtsilä's new design puts the emphasis on increased cost efficiency, innovation and reducing environmental risk.
Batteries and Optimised Hull Lines
The design enables significantly lower fuel consumption when compared to existing PSV's on the market. The key improvement areas featured in this design include an efficient energy system with batteries, and optimised hull lines with high propeller efficiency. Other important features include an optimised superstructure and engine room, and an accommodation arrangement that promotes cost efficient construction.
The design is in line with the future regulations for up to 1200 m3 of type II chemicals, and has significantly improved visibility from the bridge, reduced noise and vibration, and a main deck design that optimises the deck cargo area.
