Wärtsilä to supply power limitation service for six Eastaway vessels

Eastaway owns and operates over 50 vessels and has 24 vessels on order, ranging between 1,170 to 7,000 TEU, including eight dual-fuelled vessels capable of burning methanol.  

Wärtsilä Marine Power director of business development Giulio Tirelli said, “EEXI requirements pose a new challenge to shipowners who need to choose the best way to comply with the upcoming regulation. Our power limitation solutions represent one of the most suitable and advanced choices to ultimately contribute to the maritime decarbonisation journey.”
Shaft power limitation is part of a recently launched range of power limitation services designed to help vessels comply with the upcoming EEXI regulations. Other products include Wärtsilä’s engine power limitation for 4-stroke engines, engine power limitation for 2-stroke engines and power limitation dedicated to diesel-electric installations.

The system be installed without the need for drydocking, installation can be carried out during cargo loading and can be completed in as little as three days, including sea trials.
