Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of Wärtsilä, will supply a range of solutions for a new LNG bunkering vessel built at the Jiangnan Shipyard in China for Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) Energy Shanghai. The scope includes the cargo handling system, the fuel gas supply system and a boil-off gas reliquefaction system.
“The demand for LNG as a marine fuel continues to increase, and we are a leader in supplying modern and reliable systems that optimize overall cargo handling efficiency for LNG bunkering vessels,” said Barry Yang, general manager sales for China at Wärtsilä Gas Solutions. “SIPG has rich operation experience in LNG bunkering vessels, and provides valuable input for the vessel’s optimization. We are working closely with the owner and shipyard to implement improvements that will elevate the system to a new level of performance.”
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery to the yard during 2026, and the ship is expected to be commissioned in summer 2027.
