Wartsila NSD: Investing in Technologically Advanced Solutions The first IMO exhaust emissions certificate for a Sulzer diesel engine has been received by Sulzer for its 7RTA52U engine outputting 10,920 kW at 135 rev/min. Issued by the classification society Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, the engine was tested at the Aioi works of the Wartsila NSD licensee Diesel United Japan. Wartsila is fully supporting the engine builders to garner certification of the first engines of each Sulzer engine type, which also involved cooperation with the classification societies to which many flag states have given out the issu- ing of IMO emissions certificates. The company is also working to install direct water injection on seven RoRo vessels chartered by Transfennica, a transporter of Finnish forest products. This technology, which can lower NOx emissions up to 60 percent, offers a unique combination of low investment and operational costs, reliability with virtually no additional space requirements. All seven forest product carriers are being built by the German shipyard J.J. Sietas for a delivery sometime this year. Wartsila has a positive record of developing its products and systems to comply with current and future environmental standards via its application of NOx reduc- tion techniques - low NOx Combustion, Compact SCR and Direct Water Injection.
