Wärtsilä will design and equip one of PSA Marine’s newest harbour tugs.
Operating on LNG fuel and incorporating fuel efficiency features, the harbour tug will be built by PaxOcean Shipyard. It is the first LNG-fuelled harbour tug for PSA Marine in an effort to reduce the company's carbon footprint.
Dual-fuel Propulsion
The 28-metre long, 50-tonne bollard pull harbour tug will operate with two Wärtsilä 20DF dual-fuel engines running primarily on LNG fuel. Wärtsilä will also supply its LNGPac fuel storage and supply system as well as steerable thrusters and its ProTouch control system.
The equipment will be delivered to the yard at the end of 2018 and the harbour tug is slated to commence operations in the port of Singapore around mid-2019.
