A study of operational data has indicated significant emission reductions for two Medium Range (MR) product tankers fitted with Wärtsilä technology, and an average efficiency gain of 6% has been recorded.
Ardmore Shipping Corporation has placed an order for Value Maritime's emissions-reducing Filtree system, including the Clean Loop system, for an initial six MR Tankers.
The seven vessels will each feature six Wärtsilä 31DF dual-fuel main engines, recognised by Guinness World Records as the most-efficient 4-stroke diesel engine
The MAN engines are therefore the first certified and delivered MAN engines for the 40 LNG-powered inland shipping tankers that Concordia Damen is building for JP. Morgan Asset Management, for end-user Shell.
