    Wärtsilä’s Key Role in Singapore’s Next-Generation Vessel Traffic Management System

    Wärtsilä has been selected to participate in the development of Singapore’s Next Generation Vessel Traffic Management System (NGVTMS), a major project initiated by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). This system is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of operations at one of the world’s busiest ports. As global maritime traffic increases, advanced traffic management solutions are essential, and Wärtsilä’s expertise is instrumental in shaping these advancements. The project, awarded in April 2024, highlights Singapore’s focus on digital transformation and leveraging AI to boost maritime safety.

    MPA continues to extend its support to the US Coast Guard and local authorities

    Over the next 15 months, Wärtsilä will collaborate at MPA’s Maritime Innovation Lab to develop a system with open architecture, integrating advanced data analytics and machine learning algorithms. These capabilities aim to identify traffic hotspots and predict potential collisions, enhancing the management of complex maritime traffic scenarios. Wärtsilä’s deep domain knowledge and innovative technology will help redefine standards in maritime traffic management, contributing to Singapore’s broader vision for a more connected and efficient port system.

    Wärtsilä’s track record in Vessel Traffic Management Systems, with over 300 installations in more than 55 countries, underlines its commitment to maritime safety and sustainability. The company’s involvement in this project aligns with its mission to promote sustainable societies through technological innovation, playing a crucial role in Singapore’s efforts to create a greener, smarter maritime sector.

    Tristar Eships to manage its carbon footprint with Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services

    Technology group Wärtsilä’s unique Decarbonisation Services have been chosen to support Tristar Eships, the maritime logistics division of the Dubai-based Tristar Group, in decarbonising its operations. Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services will initially be applied to two tankers in the company’s fleet and is tailored to create a significant reduction in their carbon emissions.

    “We are committed to finding efficient solutions to reduce our emissions footprint. Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services is an important tool in helping us achieve this goal.

    When it comes to decarbonising operations in the marine industry, there are many challenges around selecting and employing the right solutions and technologies efficiently, economically and at the right time.

    The analysis to be undertaken for the first two Tristar Eships vessels, includes Wärtsilä’s EnergoFlow, EnergoProFin, optimised propeller, shaft generator and the capability to operate on biofuel.

    “With increasing pressure to decarbonise, knowing which solutions and technologies will deliver the most cost-optimal route to decarbonisation today, and in the future, is important,” comments Rajan Khanna, Head of Sales, Middle East – Wärtsilä Marine.

    Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, a division of the renowned technology conglomerate Wärtsilä, has secured a pivotal contract to supply the cargo handling system for a groundbreaking LNG bunkering vessel. The vessel, with a capacity of 12,500 cubic meters, is destined for Spanish shipowner Scale Gas, a subsidiary of Enagás, a prominent player in Spain’s gas grid operation.

    This milestone project is co-financed under the Support for Sustainable and Digital Transport Programme, an integral component of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, spearheaded by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility, and Urban Agenda.

    The order, which was booked by Wärtsilä in Q1, 2024, has been placed by the esteemed Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering, the yard responsible for constructing the vessel.

    In emphasizing Wärtsilä’s esteemed position and expertise in small-scale LNG applications, David Wei, Director of Purchase Department at CIMC SOE, remarked, “We are the leader in this segment for both ship and tank building. Wärtsilä’s experience and track-record is recognized, so we select them for this project.”

    Harald Øverland, Sales Manager at Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, highlighted the pivotal role of LNG in steering the industry towards heightened environmental sustainability. “The trend towards LNG represents the industry’s transition to greater environmental sustainability, and we are extremely pleased to support this with modern and reliable systems that optimize overall cargo handling efficiency,” said Øverland.

    The delivery of the Wärtsilä equipment to the yard is scheduled for Q2, 2025, promising to set new benchmarks in efficiency, reliability, and environmental stewardship.

    Wärtsilä’s longstanding relationship with Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering underscores a shared commitment towards pioneering innovative solutions in maritime transportation. The company has previously supplied cargo handling systems for a myriad of vessels, including LNG, LPG, ethane/ethylene, and multi-gas carriers built by the esteemed yard.
