Riviera - News Content Hub - Propulsion ordered for German emergency response vessels - Riviera Maritime Media

These multi-purpose vessels are being built in A&R’s shipyard in Lemwerder for the German Government’s Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) as part of its modernisation programme.
A&R says these multipurpose vessels will have green propulsion including gas-fuelled engines supplied by Rolls-Royce Power Systems and LNG storage tanks.
With a combined output of more than 12,000 kW, the engines will drive Schottel propulsion systems, including two powerful Rudderpropellers and one PumpJet per vessel.
Propulsion will generate bollard pulls up to 145 tonnes and provide WSV’s vessels with speeds of more than 15 knots.
Additional forces and materials can be brought on board the multipurpose vessels safely.
