WE Tech has received an order from Australian shipping company Toll Shipping to deliver permanent magnet shaft generator solutions for two 12,000 DWT RoRo vessels.
The vessels are currently being constructed at the Sinotrans & CSC affiliated Jinling Shipyard in China. The WE Tech equipment will be delivered to the shipyard in August 2017.
Permanent magnet shaft generator technology will enable the main engine of these vessels to operate in variable speed – with both shaft generators online and generating power for the ship’s electrical network up to 3400 kW.
This solution also provides up to 3000 kW of shore power to the vessel’s electrical network, further decreasing the need of using auxiliary generators.
The newbuild RoRos will operate between Burnie of Tasmania and Melbourne of Victoria, Australia
