Wärtsilä will provide its new WCP G-hub design, which has been optimised for high power density, as part of the new commitment.

The agreement also includes Wärtsilä’s propeller shaft line system that features propulsion controls, as well as a stern tube package with seals and bearings, intermediate shaft line bearings, and various accessories.

The propellers will be designed via the OPTIDESIGN method, which uses Wärtsilä’s advanced CFD technology to optimise the interaction between the propeller and hull in order to achieve the highest possible performance.

Wärtsilä’s shaft generator system is capable of powering the main engine, and can function as a motor in the event of the main engine becoming inoperable.
