Technology solutions that help you optimise the use of your assets. Meet environmental regulations and enhance your vessels’ performance with Wärtsilä’s solutions. Preferring sustainable solutions can help you stay competitive in today's dynamic maritime industry.
Wärtsilä 25 - the engine with true fuel flexibility. A medium-speed 4-stroke marine engine with a future-proof, upgradeable modular structure that makes it easier than ever for you to target net-zero.
Available in cylinder configurations from 6L to 9L and with a power output ranging from 1.7–3.4 MW, the Wärtsilä 25 provides reliable performance as a cost-efficient, flexible auxiliary engine. Available in diesel and dual-fuel versions and now introducing ammonia.
Wärtsilä 34DF is a dual-fuel engine that can operate on both liquid fuels and natural gas, providing flexibility and reduced emissions.
Wärtsilä 20 engine – compact and versatile. This widely used engine for auxiliary power generation is a great choice for larger merchant vessels and small cargo vessels.
Future-proof your investment and choose a methanol engine that can run on a wide variety of liquid fuels including conventional fossil fuels, biofuels, and green methanol. You will reduce your greenhouse gas emissions significantly when you choose green methanol and use biofuel as pilot.
Design your pathway to decarbonised operations and choose a methanol engine for your newbuild ship.
Wärtsilä 20 Methanol is perfect as an auxiliary engine for container vessels. It operates on methanol, bio-LFO or a conventional LFO. Will be available in cylinder configurations 4L, 6L, 8L, 9L with the power output ranging between 0.8 and 1.8 MW at 1000 and 1200 rpm.
Wärtsilä 32 Methanol is a high-performance engine for auxiliary power generation. This engine together with Wärtsilä MethanolPac storage and supply system were the first commercially available solutions for using methanol as a maritime fuel.
The Wärtsilä 32 Methanol engine’s power output ranges between 3.4 and 5.2 MW at 720 and 750 rpm. It has type approval certificates from leading classification societies and it has been ordered for several newbuild vessels – the first engines were delivered already in early 2023.
As a container ship owner, your short-term solutions for complying with IMO’s CO2 targets are to optimise vessel operations and bring efficiency-boosting technologies into use.
In the longer term, the IMO targets for 2040 and 2050 will require more. Switching to an alternative future fuel and investing in fuel flexibility will immediately cut your vessels’ carbon, SOx and NOx emissions.

2-Stroke retrofit solutions. It is now possible to turn out-of-shape vessels into high-performing ships. Special retrofits will help your container ship get fit. An upgrade for your 2-stroke engines can save you up to 15% fuel – and cut your emissions as well.
What’s more, the retrofit can get your vessel ready for a fuel conversion, which you can do when the time is right for you. Main engine fitness really is the best first step.
Three great ways to address your immediate operational concerns: fleet optimisation, services, and energy-saving technology.
Use vessel data to your advantage: choose Fleet Optimisation Solutions, FOS. Monitor the fuel consumption and emissions and a variety of energy efficiency indicators for a single vessel or a whole fleet of vessels – just as easily, and in real time. Automatic reporting will greatly reduce the workload for your personnel.
Maximise the uptime and the lifetime of your vessel. Are you looking for ways to improve the reliability and efficiency of your ship while saving money and reducing emissions? Wärtsilä marine offers a full suite of expert services for you!
Optimise your ship efficiency with energy saving technology, which helps reduce the amount of power needed to push the vessel through the water. This saves fuel – and money.
Discover the benefits others have already gained from choosing Wärtsilä.
To reach the IMO targets, the shipping industry must cut its greenhouse gas emissions. This will have a significant impact because the industry is responsible for around two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

The technology group Wärtsilä has again been selected to supply a broad scope of solutions for new LNG-fuelled container ships ordered by CMA CGM, a global leader of shipping and logistics based in France. This latest series comprises 12 container vessels to be built in China. Six 13,000 TEU container vessels are being built at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) CO. Ltd, with the other six 15,000 TEU container vessels under construction at the Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd. The valuable orders were placed in Q3 and Q4 2021.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery to the yards commencing in 2022, and the first of the 12 vessels is expected to be launched in Q3 2023. Wärtsilä was earlier contracted to supply a similar scope for nine 23K TEU CMA CGM vessels which have been delivered and five 15K TEU whereof 2 vessels are delivered, and 3 vessels are under construction now.
By contracting these ships to operate with LNG fuel rather than conventional marine diesel fuels, CMA CGM is emphasising its support for efforts to decarbonise maritime operations. LNG eliminates almost all air pollutants such as sulphur oxides (Sox: -99%) and nitrogen oxide (NOx: -92%) and particulates (PM10: -91%) and achieves a first step toward decarbonisation. The dual-fuel gas engines on the vessels are already compatible with renewable energies such as biomethane, synthetic methane and e-methane.
"At CMA CGM we are committed to promoting sustainability in all our operations. We are happy to work with Wärtsilä as they have a similar decarbonisation target and a very broad scope of solutions to offer. The choice of dual fuel gas vessels powered by LNG for our new ships is part of our commitment to build a zero-carbon future,” said Xavier Leclercq, Vice-President of CMA SHIPS.
Håkan Agnevall, President and CEO, Wärtsilä Corporation, commented: “This large repeat order for a broad scope of Wärtsilä solutions from a valued customer marks the value of quality, reliability and sharp customer focus. It also highlights our wide range of competences across marine technologies. Both CMA CGM and Wärtsilä have a common strategy in applying LNG solutions to prepare the way towards carbon free shipping.”
The selected Wärtsilä solutions are all designed to deliver high efficiency and environmental sustainability. They include for each vessel five Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel auxiliary engines, 60 engines in total, delivered from the joint venture in China, Wärtsilä’s Nacos Platinum integrated control system, propulsion control system, STC-13 series Sewage Treatment Plants and Fuel Gas Supply System fitted with Wärtsilä’s Operational Performance Improvement and Monitoring (Operim) system. This utilises the latest digital technology to provide data in real-time to allow the system to operate at optimal efficiency at all times, and in all weather and sea conditions.
