Wartsila has won a contract to supply the engines for the first Taiwan-flagged offshore wind installation vessel, Green Jade.
The full scope includes four Wartsila 46DF and two Wartsila 20DF dual-fuel engines, for the vessel, which is being built by DEME-CSBC joint venture CDWE.
The Wartsila equipment is scheduled to be delivered during 2021.
The scope also spans transverse and steerable thrusters, a DP3 solution, navigation system and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for emissions abatement.
Green Jade, which will be 216 metres in length, is being built at the CSBC shipyard in Taiwan.
The vessel will be deployed in the construction of offshore wind farms off the coast of Taiwan, from 2023.
Wartsila East Asia and China marine unit director Osten Lindell said: “Wartsila has earlier delivered a comprehensive scope of integrated solutions for a similar vessel for one of the partners in this joint venture company.
“The success of that project was clearly a contributing factor in the award of this contract.”
CSBC president and CDWE chairman Kuo-Cheng Tseng added: “We have worked with Wartsila for many years and have been very satisfied with the support they provide.
“In particular, their well-proven solutions and integration skills shorten the engineering and construction time, which is crucial to enabling an on-time delivery.”
