A part of the company’s strategic programme “Taking Merchant Shipping into the Gas Age”, Wärtsilä has launched a new series of LNG Carrier ship designs.

The new series consists of four vessel designs

The series comprises four vessel designs, the WSD59 3K, WSD59 6.5K, WSD55 12K, and WSD50 20K, all of which have been developed in close cooperation with customers to construct vessels that are appropriate for the global LNG infrastructure and applicable for both ocean-going and inland-water operations. In each case, fuel economy, performance guarantees, optional versions to meet specific needs, and the flexibility to choose particular features and solutions have been emphasised, Wärtsilä said. 
The new designs have been developed at the Wärtsilä Ship Design offices in China and Poland.
