PSA Marine and Wartsilä agree on technology partnership
The Helsinki (Finland)-headquartered technology group Wärtsilä and Singapore-based PSA Marine have agreed to collaborate in the co-creation of smart technologies for the marine sector.
The parties have agreed on specific areas of collaboration, including the use of electric or hybrid technologies that further the deployment of low-emissions energy and propulsion systems; the incorporation of next-generation smart vessel technologies; the adoption of secured connectivity to facilitate ship-to-shore data exchange; and marketing and branding activities that generate awareness.
With one dual-fuel harbour tug running on LNG already in service, and another joining the PSA Marine fleet by the end of this year, PSA Marine and Wärtsilä have pledged to design and develop more solutions for smart and low-emissions harbour craft. (fd)
