Wärtsilä two stroke engines for large container vessels
Heinrich SCHMID, Application Development Two-Stroke Engines - Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd - Winterthur
This paper will illustrate some approaches to reducing both the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, particulate matter, etc.) for large container vessels. Today these are crucial requirements for all ships, but especially for the increasing numbers of large container ships of say 4000 TEU up to more than 13,000 TEU which have high installed powers and thus high fuel consumptions. A great economic impetus is given by the high proportion of operating costs going to bunkers with heavy fuel oil often costing up to US$500 per tonne.
