First Wärtsilä Marine DF Engines Ordered
Wärtsilä Corporation has received the first order for Wärtsilä 32DF marine engines. PGS Production in Norway has contracted for two Wärtsilä 18V32DF engines to be installed in the FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) vessel "Petrojarl I". The two engines, each developing 3,720 kW at 720 rpm, will be supplied as complete generating sets. They will burn wellhead gas. Built specifically as an FPSO vessel for North Sea service in 1986, the "Petrojarl 1" has been fitted with various additional equipment over the years. The two Wärtsilä-engined sets will therefore add necessary electricity generating capacity. They are currently being installed during a planned major drydocking before the vessel takes up a three-year contract on the Glitne field in the North Sea.
