How are dual-fuel engines cutting tanker emissions for James Fisher and Sons? As part of its fleet renewal programme focusing on increasing efficiency and reducing emissions, James Fisher and Sons plc has ordered four new 6,000 dwt LNG-fuelled tankers. Each vessel will be equipped with a fully integrated mechanical drive propulsion package, centred around the Wärtsilä 25DF dual-fuel main engine. The engine and integrated propulsion have an important role to play in helping the company to achieve its long-term sustainability goals. 🌟 Learn more from this case study: 👉 https://wartsi.ly/3Q7NluB #MarineSustainability #JamesFisherAndSons #MarineEngineering #Wärtsilä

I find the increase of dual fuel engines incredibly interesting. It's a step in the right direction of exploring alternatives to diesel, while still ensuring uptime. Truly inspirational to see the use of LNG as an option, with the hopes of taking the next step eventually to bioLNG or synthetic methane. However I'm personally curious about ammonia and the development for safe use of that. All in all, I think the future looks promising and I really look forward to see the big players continuing with the research regarding alternative fuels to ensure sustainable shipping.
