Wärtsilä announced that it has been tasked to supply seven thrusters required for a new Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV) being built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine yard in South Korea for Eneti Inc. The order with Wärtsilä was placed in October 2021 with an option for a second vessel.

The scope includes six Wärtsilä WST-32 thrusters fitted with a modern electric steering system, and one Wärtsilä WTT-36 thruster. All seven comply with applicable environmental regulations with the use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL), and are scheduled for delivery to the yard during the first quarter of 2023. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the owner in the latter part of 2024.

“We are very familiar with the quality and efficiency of Wärtsilä’s thrusters. They can be trusted to ensure performance in all sea conditions, which is essential in a vessel of this type,” said Min Yun, The head of DSME Offshore Machinery Procurement Department.

“In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, our focus today is on highly efficient technologies capable of delivering excellent performance. We are assured that the Wärtsilä solutions meet this requirement,” said Emanuele A. Lauro, Eneti Chairman & CEO.

“Safety and reliability are central needs for modern jack-up WTIVs, and our thruster package is optimised to deliver them. Furthermore, by ensuring efficient free sailing and outstanding dynamic positioning, regardless of the sea conditions, we are contributing to the decarbonisation of the maritime sector,” commented Roger Holm, President Marine Power & EVP Wärtsilä Corporation.

This is the fourth WTIV with Wärtsilä thrusters contracted during 2021.
