Wärtsilä has recently secured a contract to provide its 31DF dual-fuel engine to French operator Ponant’s new polar ice-class luxury cruise vessel. The 150m-long vessel is currently being built at Vard Søviknes in Norway and will run primarily on liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the environmentally sensitive Arctic and Antarctic regions. As part of the new contract, Wärtsilä will deliver four 14-cylinder and two ten-cylinder 31DF engines, as well as the fuel gas supply system.
