Merchant Ships Design

Wärtsilä Ship Design specializes in highly cost-efficient standard and non-standard merchant vessel types. Our in-depth expertise, experience, and high level of innovation are utilized to provide added value to our customers’ businesses.

Our merchant designs aim to optimize both cargo capacity and performance. We provide solutions that feature low operational and life cycle costs. Similarly, we employ state-of-the-art means of achieving high safety levels and environmental compliance with both current and future regulations.

Conceptual and basic designs by Wärtsilä Ship Design are production oriented, and straightforward to build, in many cases with advanced solutions for efficient production to reduce building time and costs. We have practical experience in shipyard production design. In certain projects, Wärtsilä Ship Design acts as a full range production information provider to the shipyard work teams, with our site office at the building shipyard.
