Metso has been awarded a contract to upgrade and expand the ship automation of M/S Stena Germanica. Stena Line will have the vessel’s main engines converted to run on methanol and marine gas oil as a dual-fuel concept. The project is to prove and showcase methanol as an innovative, safe and sustainable fuel for shipping, which consequently lowers the vessel’s emissions.
Metso will integrate the related control and monitoring functionalities within the vessel’s automation system. The scope includes a new redundant process controller, I/O system and eight new data communication lines to the main engines’ control system and methanol fuel pumps. With Metso’s advanced automation solutions, the vessel will be able to control the fuel plant and meet the new exhaust gas emission regulations set forth by International Maritime Organization and the European Union. The control room stations and related communication network will also be upgraded to the latest version of Metso DNA automation technology.
