Wärtsilä RT-flex82C and RTA82C

The Wärtsilä RT-flex82C and RTA82C low-speed marine diesel engines are tailor-made for the economical and reliable propulsion of Panamax containerships with capacities up to about 5000 TEU at a typical service speed of around 24 knots.

In these applications, they offer clear and substantial benefits:

  • Optimum power and speed with extended layout field for improved match to ship power/speed requirements
  • Competitive first cost
  • Lowest possible fuel consumption over the whole operating range
  • Low cylinder oil feed rate
  • Three years’ time between overhauls
  • Low maintenance costs through reliability and durability
  • Full compliance with NOx emissions regulations.

Wärtsilä RT-flex82C common-rail engines have additional benefits:

  • Smokeless operation at all running speeds
  • Better fuel economy in the part-load range
  • Lower steady running speeds
  • Reduced maintenance requirements with simpler engine setting and extendable time between overhauls.
