It’s been a busy year – and with so much happening it’s impossible to read every interesting looking article. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could see which articles were the most popular with your peers? Well, we’re here to help, with the five marine power articles that were most read in 2022. In traditional end-of-year countdown style, let’s start with number five:
Five common misconceptions about air lubrication – and why they’re wrong separated the fact from the fiction about air lubrication. Despite over a decade of increasing energy efficiency for major players in the maritime industry, there are still things people are getting wrong about this ground-breaking technology. From how it works to whether it affects other energy-saving devices, how many of these do you know?
Intrigued about how future fuels can help decarbonise shipping? In Methanol – Fuel for thought in our deep-dive Q&A four experts discuss the advantages of methanol as a future fuel for shipping. They also look at the challenges that need to be considered. With topics ranging from improving EEXI values and CII ratings to the latest price trends, there’s a lot to learn here.
It’s no surprise that hydrogen’s potential was also intriguing to ship owners and operators. Four Wärtsilä experts came together to discuss its potential as a future fuel for maritime applications. From regulatory concerns to storage considerations, it’s well worth checking out Hydrogen – Fuel for thought in our Q&A.
With 2023 almost upon us, vessel owners are running out of time to comply with the IMO’s EEXI and CII measures. Finding the right pathway to compliance is not always easy, so there was a lot of interest in Complying with EEXI – how to speed up decarbonisation without slowing down vessels. If you’re looking for help with compliance – without reducing sailing speeds – this one’s for you.

The most-read article – with over 10,000 readers – was a stand-alone piece with a link to watch the Wärtsilä 32 Methanol launch webinar. With methanol looking to be an extremely promising future fuel, the Wärtsilä 32 Methanol engine opens up new opportunities for both retrofits and newbuilds in many vessel segments. The engine is part of Wärtsilä’s wider efforts to help decarbonise the maritime industry, and this piece looked at how it can help ship owners to reach their own decarbonisation goals.
There are some definite trends in these articles – people are clearly interested in how to decarbonise the shipping industry and the potential of future fuels. But maybe you prefer watching to reading? If so, we have a little something for you too: the three most popular webinars of 2022.
A practical webinar that looks at how your approach to maintenance will impact your operations in today’s changing environment. Learn how planning maintenance in advance can help you save costs and ensure continued operations, and how Wärtsilä’s spare parts value chain ensures availability and continuous support. All in just 45 minutes.
In this one-hour webinar our presenters look at how our power limitation solutions can help you to meet EEXI requirements quickly. The solutions discussed safely and effectively limit engine or shaft power during normal operation, whatever your powertrain combination or control-system arrangement. Get the help you need to comply with EEXI.
The Wärtsilä 46TS-DF is a next-generation engine that is setting new benchmarks in efficiency and emissions performance. Not only that, it also offers full flexibility for future fuel choices and, thanks to its modular nature, is future-proofed and upgradeable by design. Find out more in the one-hour launch webinar.
