Wärtsilä to supply propulsion for Vietnam chemical tanker newbuilds
Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply engines and generators for three 21,800 dwt chemical tankers under construction at Triyards’ Vietnam shipyards.

Due for delivery to owner Swiss-Canadian Maritime in 2017, the three 153m long tankers are set for operation between Rotterdam, Netherlands and Montreal, Canada.

Under the Wärtsilä contract, each vessel will be supplied with a controllable pitch propeller (CPP), tunnel gearbox, shaft alternator, two tunnel thrusters, three Auxpac generating sets, a Wärtsilä Propulsion Condition Monitoring System (PCMS), as well as all related auxiliaries for the various systems.

A separate contract has also been agreed between Triyards Marine Services and Chinese two-stroke engine builder Yuchai Marine Power (YCMP), for a 6-cylinder Wärtsilä X40-B two-stroke main engine designed by Winterthur Gas & Diesel, a joint venture between Wärtsilä and China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
