Wärtsilä launches new PSV design

With new rules and regulations affecting the platform supply vessel (PSV) market, Wärtsilä is launching a new PSV ship design at this year's Nor-Shipping exhibition being held in Oslo from 2-5 June. The new design puts emphasis on cost efficiency, innovation and reducing environmental risk.

The design enables lower fuel consumption when compared to existing PSV's on the market. The key improvement areas featured in this design include an efficient energy system with batteries, and optimized hull lines with high propeller efficiency. Other important features include an optimized superstructure and engine room, and an accommodation arrangement that promotes cost efficient construction. The design is in line with the future regulations for up to 1200cu m of type II chemicals, and has significantly improved visibility from the bridge, reduced noise and vibration, and a main deck design that optimizes the deck cargo area.
