United Kingdom, July 24 -- Technology group Wartsila's retrofit package for the Corsica Linea ferry 'Pascal Paoli' has resulted in fuel savings of up to 22 percent.

These upgrades, which were completed at the end of 2024, were validated through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) open water simulations, and confirmed during sea trials with the chief engineer. In monetary terms, the fuel saving...
