WE Tech Solutions has been selected as the solution provider for the hybrid system onboard Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s new prestige series, the Shaper class. This series represents a new generation of vessels designed to lead the way in sustainable shipping. The Shaper class will be built at Jinling Shipyard located in China. WE Tech Solutions is proud to be a part of this project, marking a significant milestone in the journey toward zero-emission shipping. For this project, WE Tech Solutions will deliver Solution Four. This solution includes a shaft generator, a battery bank, and a feature that enables simultaneous 3C output from the battery and full power from the shaft generator. The battery bank supports auxiliary generator peak shaving, provides spinning reserve, and prevents blackouts.
The Shaper class plays a key role in Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s net-zero emission strategy. By choosing a solution from WE Tech Solutions, Wallenius Wilhelmsen is contributing to a future of reduced-emission shipping. Together, WE Tech Solutions, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, and Jinling Shipyard are shaping the future of maritime transportation, creating a new era of shipping that is both sustainable and highly efficient.
“We are happy to collaborate with WE Tech Solutions on the Shaper class project. Their solution enables us to save fuel and reduce costs and emissions even further,” says Sergey Ushakov, Senior Manager Machinery & Systems at Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
