Finnish group Wartsila has won a contract to provide dual-fuel engines for four new LNG carriers in China.

The company said its joint venture company, CSSC Wartsila Engine (Shanghai) Co (CWEC), will supply 16 34DF systems to the Hudong Zhonghua shipyard.

It said the order was booked in August 2017, although the units are likely to be MOL's vessels for Russia's Yamal LNG project announced in June.
