Wartsila has provided numerous products for Teekay’s fleet over its long-standing relationship.

Last week, Wartsila received a contract to deliver 14 engines and related emissions control after-treatment systems for two new Swiss inland ferries.

The passenger ferries are being constructed for General Navigation Company (CGN) at the Shiptec AG yard in Switzerland.

In addition, CBO, a Brazilian operator of offshore support vessels, signed an agreement with Wartsila for the conversion of a vessel from its fleet to operate with hybrid propulsion.

The company placed the contract with the technology group Wartsila in October.
