Arista Shipping has been joined by Wartsila in its quest to develop a concept for equipping bulkers with LNG propulsion in the future.
The Finnish company is likely to provide its Wartsila 31DF dual-fuel engine as the basis of the general idea, which was officially introduced a year ago.
Other parties involved in the so-called Project Forward are Deltamarin, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and LNG membrane containment system designer GTT.
