The understanding which signed from the three companies follows the collaboration tightened from WinGD, Wärtsilä and GTT in occasion of the supply of equipments for the nine large new portacontainer from 22.000 teu fed to GNL that the French shipowning group CMA CGM has ordered last year to the Chinese ship yards Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding and that they will be completed beginning from the end of 2019 ( on 18 September 2017).
Illustrating the motivations of such agreement Timo Koponen, vice president Processing Solutions of the Wärtsilä, has evidenced that "there is a gust of change in the total marine industry. The prudent approach that once frapponeva to the passage to "new" a fuel - it has explained - it is being disappeared and now the which liquified natural gas is accepted as fuel for all the types of ships. With the collaboration with other leaders of the field we aim to accelerate this process".
"To operate with the GNL as fuel - it has specified the president and managing director of the GTT, Philippe Berterottière - demands a strong integration between the engines, the tanks of the fuel and the system of supply and control of the fuel. We - he has emphasized - are three companies that have experience in these fields and collaborating we can optimize this process of integration to advantage of the shipowners and the operators of all the world".
