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 announces the launch of the latest addition to its multi-fuel engine portfolio. The Wärtsilä 46TS-DF engine is designed with a focus on efficiency, environmental performance, and fuel flexibility signalling a new era of medium-speed marine engines. In gas fuel mode, the engine has the highest efficiency thus far achieved in the medium-speed engine market.
The first order for this engine type was placed by Chantiers de l’Atlantique for Royal Caribbean Cruises in April 2021. The engines will be installed on their latest Oasis class ship ‘Utopia of the Seas’. The ship is being built by the shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique and will feature six Wärtsilä 46TS-DF engines with Gas Valve Units, NOx Reducer SCR systems, LNGPac and Transverse Thrusters.
“Cutting-edge efficiency and leading environmental performance are crucial factors when designing our new ships,” says Harri Kulovaara, EVP Newbuilding and Innovation, Royal Caribbean Group. “We were delighted to work with Wärtsilä – as well as with the shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique - from an early stage in development to make sure these engines are the ideal fit to power the latest addition to our fleet while advancing our sustainability journey.”
The overriding basis for this new engine launch is to be able to offer a future-proof solution for owners and operators to reach decarbonisation targets. The Wärtsilä 46TS-DF has a two-stage turbocharging to deliver high levels of efficiency and power density across a wide operational range for vessels in all segments of the industry. This level of efficiency reduces fuel consumption and lowers emissions, while being easily retrofittable for future carbon-neutral and carbon-free fuels as they become widely available.
“The maritime sector is having to adapt to the transitional effects caused by the need to meet decarbonisation goals within a relatively short period of time,” says Stefan Nysjö, Vice President, Power Supply, Wärtsilä Marine Power. “This new engine launch provides an important boost towards achieving those goals. It delivers the power to change by setting a new benchmark for greater sustainability through high efficiency, emissions performance, and fuel flexibility.”
Development of the Wärtsilä 46TS-DF engine has been based on the extensive experience gained from the company’s Wärtsilä 46, 46F, and 50 engine families. It is available in 6 to 16-cylinder configurations, corresponding to a power output range of 7.8 to 20.8 MW at 600 rpm. It features an intrinsically modular design, which simplifies upgradability and modifications for alternative future fuels.
The dual-fuel Wärtsilä 46TS-DF engine can run LNG, which dramatically reduces air pollutants as well as offering a viable platform for further decarbonisation through the use of bio- or synthetic methane in the future.
