Wärtsilä is to provide the main engines, retractable thrusters, and NOx reducing systems for two new research vessels being built for the China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association (COMRA).
- COMRA undertakes exploration and research of activities in the seabed, ocean floor and subsoil.
- Vessels will feature Wärtsilä’s NOR system to ensure compliance with the IMO’s Tier III regulations on NOx emissions, while the engines will ensure that noise and vibration are minimised.
- Ships are being built at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding and Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group yards. The orders were booked in April 2017.
