echnology group Wärtsilä is co-operating with Amundsen Expeditions to develop a customised design for up to six new luxury expedition cruise vessels. The vessels will be capable of carrying 200 passengers and are targeted primarily at the growing Chinese market. “The ships are designed to operate efficiently in both tropical and polar waters. Because of the harsh environment and often remote location of the cruise destinations, special attention has been given to ensuring the ships’ operational reliability,” reveals Markku Miinala, General Manager, Ship Design Sales at Wärtsilä Marine. The Wärtsilä team has worked in close cooperation with Amundsen Expeditions to develop a concept that meets the owner’s precise specifications and requirements. The vessels are designed to be fitted with a complete package of Wärtsilä solutions, including Wärtsilä 32 engines, electric propulsion, the Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum
bridge system for navigation and communication, as well as Wärtsilä automation solutions. “We have great respect for Wärtsilä’s experience and broad portfolio of high quality solutions. This is important to us as these cruise ships are highly complex and require advanced design expertise”, states Captain Rajko Zupan of Amundsen Expeditions, who has been actively involved in the ship’s design since the inception of the project. “The cruise ships will feature all outside guest cabins, presidential suites, winter gardens and the latest environmental equipment. We appreciate Wärtsilä’s ongoing support in this project.”
NOx Reducer
Also on board will be Wärtsilä’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for the abatement of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. It is one of the few technologies capable of reducing Nitrogen Oxides down
