Taking Care of Licensees - Licensees are our partners and customers


The Delivery Centre 2-stroke Team is responsible for the active partnership between “Research & Development” generating best-practice design solutions and the licensees' needs for low-cost engines and a high level of quality.

Customer Assistance Centre
The Customer Assistance Centre (CAC) Team assists our customers throughout the early, most crucial periods of the product life cycle. Customers’ accumulated experience is continuously fed into product development. The CAC Team manages Wärtsilä’s contractual warranty obligations in two-stroke engine installations. It has an efficient and systematic problem-solving process that ensures speedy resolution of technical problems arising during the warranty phase, starting with the flag shift of the vessel and ending with the expiry of the contractual warranty period.

Product Engineering

The main task is to provide all the information required by the licensees so that they are able to assist the shipyards at the design stage and to support them for the engine installation. Moreover the group provides the necessary information to the shipowners. Product Engineering delivers the most modern product information supplied as manuals, guidelines, computer programs and designs to customers.

Quality & Manufacturing
Quality & Manufacturing is an expert pool providing best advice regarding all manufacturing and quality aspects to our licensees, suppliers and our own research & development department.
