June 10 (LNG) - Wartsila Corp., the Finland-based marine propulsion provider, will supply engines for the world's first LNG-powered icebreaker to be launched in 2015. The LNG-fuelled icebreaker is being built by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard for the Finnish Transport Agency. It will use Wartsila's dual-fuel engines capable of operating on both LNG and low-sulphur diesel fuel. "The new icebreaker features the highest technology and will be built especially to operate in the demanding winter conditions of the northernmost Baltic Sea. By being able to use LNG fuel, the vessel will be the most environmentally friendly icebreaker ever built," said Esko Mustamäki, Managing Director of the Arctech Shipyard.
