Six offshore pipelayers booked at IHC Merwede in The Netherlands for Brazilian service with Petrobras will each be powered by six eight-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 engines. Three of the 146m-long x 30m-wide vessels are building for Subsea 7 and three for Seabras Sapura, with deliveries due during first-half 2015 and second-half 2016.
In addition to the 36 engines for the projects, Wärtsilä is supplying two FT300H-D transverse thrusters, two FS1510/MNR retractable thrusters, and three FS2510/NU steerable underwater demountable thrusters for each ship.MP
