The United Arab Shipping Company (UASC), U.A.E., commissioned the Siemens Industry Solutions Division to equip nine of its new-building container ships each with one booster propulsion with shaft generator function and a waste heat recovery energy management system. This order is in line with UASC’s continuous efforts to imbed the latest technologies into its ships and actively contribute to preserving the environment in reducing CO2 emissions. With the aid of waste heat recovery, ships' exhaust gases are converted to electric power. This cuts fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions, boosting cost-effectiveness of ship operation and relieving the environment. The order volume is in the two-digit euro millions.
