Wärtsilä introduces a new concept of low-pollution and even zero-emission shuttle ferry

Recently, Wärtsilä has introduced a complete series of shuttle ferry concepts to achieve low pollution and even zero emissions.

The development of this ferry concept is in line with the Norwegian government's new environmental regulations requiring the ferry to emphasize the removal of harmful emissions. The concept was developed by Wärtsilä's ship design department and the power and automation department, focusing on high energy efficiency and above the ferry waterline and water. Low resistance.

It is reported that the power design of the ferry can be fully equipped with batteries or batteries and engines. The fuel can use LNG or biofuel. Compared with the traditionally installed power, the fuel consumption of the ferry in the battery-plugged operation mode is reduced by 100%. The pollution emissions are also completely removed. When the ferry is mixed with the engine, the pollution emissions are reduced by up to 50%.

The usual shuttle ferry can operate 20,000 nautical miles a year. The ferry concept is equipped with Wärtsilä's new wireless inductive charging system, which can be charged immediately after reaching the terminal without cable connection, thus providing significant time savings and energy savings. .

The ferry design also incorporates Wärtsilä's complete power and automation system package, based on the battery/hybrid solution, including Wärtsilä's azimuth propulsion unit and complete bridge control system.

The ferry's car deck can carry 60-120 cars, making it quick and easy to load and unload cars.
