This allows operators to meet current EU emissions targets for 2050, and to also exceed the IMO target for 2040.<\/p>\n<p>By enabling a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 ammonia solution supports Skarv Shipping Solutions\u2019 commitment to deliver sustainable short-sea shipping in Northern Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Skarv Shipping Solutions is a joint venture set up last year by the Bergen headquartered Peak Group, which operates a fleet of around 25 dry cargo, project and self-discharging vessels ranging from 1,000 dwt to 6,000 dwt, and the Grieg Maritime Group\u2019s sustainability-focused Grieg Edge subsidiary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aim is to prove that it is possible to renew the European short-sea fleet while making it more climate-friendly,\u201d says Jan \u00d8ivind Svardal, CEO \u2013 Skarv Shipping Solutions. \u201cThat means implementing a whole array of technologies. We see ammonia as one of the future fuels and are happy to see strong European companies like W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 leading the push towards carbon-free propulsion. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 Ammonia solution promises exactly what we are looking for: robust safety and environmental measures combined with advanced energy efficient technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 Ammonia engine and the whole solution is the result of extensive research and testing over a number of years, in line with our commitment to decarbonizing shipping operations,\u201d comments Roger Holm, president of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine and executive vice president at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation. \u201cThrough our focus on continuous improvement, we have developed the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 engine, along with our associated ammonia handling systems, to deliver outstanding levels of safety, efficiency, reliability and sustainability. This solution offers the marine industry a future-ready solution that is available today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 ammonia engine, which is available as part of the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 engine platform, was developed based on the company\u2019s safety and operational experience gained from low pressure dual-fuel (DF) engines running on LNG.<\/p>\n<p>The equipment delivery for this newbuild is scheduled to begin in fourth quarter 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Ammonia has emerged as a promising alternative fuel and will play a significant role in achieving IM<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/mediacentre\/hottopics\/pages\/faqs-the-imo-net-zero-framework.aspx\">O\u2019s net-zero-emissions target for 2050.<\/a> A report from W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4, \u201cSustainable fuels for shipping by 2050 \u2013 the three key elements of success,\u201d highlights the role that sustainable fuels will play in achieving the IMO target. According to the report, existing decarbonization solutions, such as fuel efficiency measures, could cut shipping emissions by up to 27% Sustainable fuels, such as ammonia, are then a critical step in eliminating the remaining 73%.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the report <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4t7N6C0\">HERE<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/engines-fuel\/skarv-awards-wartsila-its-first-ammonia-engine-newbuild-order\/\">Skarv awards W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 its first ammonia engine newbuild order<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/engines-fuel\/skarv-awards-wartsila-its-first-ammonia-engine-newbuild-order\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=skarv-awards-wartsila-its-first-ammonia-engine-newbuild-order\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skarv awards W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 its first ammonia engine newbuild order A cargo vessel on order at the Huanghai shipyard in China for Norway\u2019s Skarv Shipping Solutions will be the first newbuild to have a complete W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 25 ammonia solution.
