Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services have been chosen to support Tristar Eships, the maritime logistics division of the Dubai-based Tristar Group, in decarbonising its operations.
Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services will initially be applied to two tankers in the company’s fleet - the Solar Nesrin, a 169-metre-long chemical tanker, and the Silver Muna, a 183-metre-long oil tanker.
‘We are committed to finding efficient solutions to reduce our emissions footprint. Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services is an important tool in helping us achieve this goal. Partnering with Wärtsilä will increase our depth of knowledge and understanding of the technologies required to raise efficiency levels, and therefore reduce emissions,’ said Tim Coffin, CEO of Tristar Eships.
Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services involve an analysis of a ship’s operating profile, following which recommendations are made as to how efficiency and energy saving improvements can be made.
The analysis to be undertaken for the first two Tristar Eships includes Wärtsilä’s EnergoFlow, EnergoProFin, optimised propeller, shaft generator and the capability to operate on biofuel.
