Wärtsilä introduces retrofit solution for its marine engine governor system

Wärtsilä Automation, Navigation and Control Systems (ANCS), part of the technology group, has launched an innovative retrofit solution for its marine engine governor system in collaboration with Swedish marine green tech company Qtagg.

The solution is designed to extend the lifespan of a ship’s propulsion control system, while simultaneously enhancing the vessel’s overall efficiency, according to a statement.

ANCS’s marine governor systems are expected to help regulate and control engine speed, as they manage the fuel supply under all operating conditions, including fluctuating engine load caused by rough seas or changes in weight.

Additionally, the retrofit solution comprises digital engine governors and advanced Artificial Technology (AI) eco-driving systems. It also reduces fuel consumption and emissions, while significantly raising operating efficiency, while it can be applied to a broad range of vessels, including Ro-Ro, Ro-Pax, and cargo ships.

Tomas Lindqvist, CEO of Qtagg, commented, “The shipping industry is highly motivated to find ways to raise efficiency levels and lower emissions. We have simplified the process, allowing captains and operators to stay in control. The digitalisation of the propulsion control system will help determine CII ratings, while enabling predictable arrival times.” The company has already booked orders for two retrofit systems.
