W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has been selected to supply the engine and propulsion equipment for a new 3,800 DWT heavy lift vessel being built for Urk, Netherlands-based operator Hartman Seatrade. The vessel will operate with the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 31 engine, which features best-in-class fuel efficiency and minimized exhaust emissions. The engine\u2019s modular design enables a significant reduction in maintenance requirements and costs, while providing the flexibility for both fast and slow steaming operations.<\/p>\n
Hartman has established a new shipyard in Urk, Rock Shipbuilding, <\/a>where the vessel will be built. The order with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 was booked in fourth quarter 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cOur focus is on efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility,\u201d says Teele Hartman, managing director of Hartman Seatrade. \u201cW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 engines have consistently performed well across our fleet. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 31 offers the performance range we need for both slow and fast steaming, combined with low maintenance requirements. Based on our long-standing cooperation and operational experience, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 was the obvious choice for this vessel.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 31 engine, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will also supply the gearbox which will enable the vessel to operate in PTI (Power Take-In), PTO (Power Take-Off), and PTH (Power Take-Home) modes, further improving fuel efficiency. The vessel\u2019s controllable pitch propeller (CPP) will be controlled by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 EcoControl and hydrodynamically optimized with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Opti Design solution. Operating the propeller at low speed when full thrust isn\u2019t needed will also deliver additional fuel savings. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 equipment is scheduled for delivery in spring 2027.<\/p>\n \u201cShip owners today face pressure to balance costs, reliability and efficiency with sustainability targets, and while maintaining operational flexibility,\u201d says Roger Holm, president of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine & executive vice president at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation. \u201cEfficient energy use and advanced equipment are key to meeting regulations while staying profitable. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 31 engine, combined with complementary technologies, offers the most logical path forward for cargo operators.\u201d<\/p>\n W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has established a strong relationship with Hartman Seatrade over the years, having supplied equipment for several vessels in the company\u2019s fleet.<\/p>\n The post New Hartman Seatrade vessel will have W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 31 engine<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
