Wärtsilä expects to realise the first deliveries of the new engine later this year.

2018 (see Ship & Boat International September/ October 2018, page 64). A pair of stainless steel X310s has been ordered
by boatbuilder MetalCraſt Marine, which intends to incorporate the jet type into the propulsive set-up of its forthcoming Kuwait 50’ Firestorm fireboat. In this particular configuration, the 310X units will work in tandem with Volvo D13 diesel engines, rated 735kW apiece, resulting in a top speed of 43knots. Te first jets are expected to be delivered to MetalCraſt in Q1 2019. The X Series features mixed-flow technology,

Fuel treatment and monitoring Bottling u uel treatent
Diesel engine fuel treatment solutions provider Aderco reports that it has massively downsized the container dimensions of its Aderco 2055G fuel conditioner product – from 20litre-capacity canisters to a 1litre, 1kg bottle – to satisfy smaller craft operators with limited onboard storage space. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the company has

identified fishing vessels, especially pelagic trawlers, as being strong candidates for the new bottle format, in addition to research vessels and smaller-sized/inland cargo carriers. Andrew Deacy, managing director of Engine-Solutions/ CorribHydServices, Aderco’s distributor for Ireland, adds: “Te 1litre bottle will be offered to vessels that will probably only use 2,000-5,000litres of fuel each year.”

combining features of axial flow and radial flow to offer enhanced thrust and efficiency, and the 310X is rated 700kW. MJP claims that the X Series will prove capable of cutting weight by up to 10%, and reducing power demand by 20%, compared to conventional axial-flow jets.

Onboard power systems Cuins gensets or
reeer traler Cummins has been selected to provide the hotel power requirements for a new 39-crew freezer trawler, designed by Skipsteknisk and currently under construction at Tersan Shipyard, Turkey. Te 74m × 16m vessel will be fitted with two Cummins generators: a QSK60 model, rated 1,724kWe, and a QSK19 with an output of 560kWe. These gensets will primarily provide power to the vessel’s accommodation block, navigation suite, processing factory and freezer space, Cummins says. Te vessel will rely on a MAN main engine for its
propulsive power, meanwhile. Te trawler will also be fitted with Ibercisa electric winches, which, Cummins comments, “have a remarkable quality: when the net is being payed out, the force of the turning winch generates electricity – similar to a hybrid car going downhill, but the new energy is not stored in a battery”. Effectively, the winches can be likened to a “power
plant”, adds Inge Bertil Straume, Skipsteknisk sales manager for fishing vessels, thus enabling the operator to use regenerative power from the winches whilst paying out the trawl gear. Straume continues: “Tis free power will normally
be utilised through the other major consumers on board, like the fish factory, freezing machinery and the hotel load. In the case of low onboard demand, this free power will be put on the propeller through the gearbox shaſt alternator / motor [in PTI mode].” Te vessel is scheduled for delivery in Q4 2019.
