Wärtsilä Engines for CGS Vessels

China Shipping Container Lines Co., Ltd. (CSCL), part of the China Shipping Group (CSG), has chosen Wärtsilä main engines for eight container vessels. The Wärtsilä engines for this order will be built under licence by Doosan Engine, Korea. Wärtsilä, the marine industry's leading ship power system integrator, will supply a package of support services for this order, which was placed in October. The ships are to be built at the Jiangnan Changxing shipyard in Shanghai. "The low fuel consumption across many load parameters was the key technical reason to select the Wärtsilä common rail 2-stroke engine," said Li Xueqiang, deputy GM of CSCL.
