Optimising thruster configuration—rather than simply adding more power—is one of the smartest ways to improve offshore vessel manoeuvrability without increasing fuel use. This Wärtsilä white paper explains how this works in practice, with real examples and expert tips.
Reducing emissions starts with choosing the right combination of technologies—like hybrid propulsion, fuel-flexible engines, and energy-saving systems. These solutions not only cut emissions but also help vessels meet IMO and EU requirements, including the EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime. This Wärtsilä white paper explains how offshore operators are already using these technologies to stay compliant and competitive.
Designing vessels for actual operating conditions—rather than idealised trial specs—can significantly improve efficiency and reduce fuel use. It also helps avoid over-dimensioning and supports better lifecycle performance. This Wärtsilä white paper outlines how this approach leads to smarter design decisions and highlights Wärtsilä’s Opti Design methodology as a practical tool for ship designers and owners.
Hybrid systems, predictive maintenance, and engines that support alternative fuels often deliver strong ROI by lowering fuel costs, reducing emissions, and improving charter appeal. This Wärtsilä white paper shares real examples of how offshore operators are using these technologies to cut operating expenses and future-proof their fleets.
