As an offshore platform or vessel owner, you face the dual challenge of optimising operational efficiency while meeting stringent environmental regulations. Wärtsilä's offshore solutions are designed to address these critical needs.
When better fuel efficiency and lower emissions are your goal, you will appreciate our advanced technologies, such as powerful LNG engines, and hybrid solutions which include an innovative energy management system.
Offshore solutions that help you ensure compliance with the latest environmental regulations. Solutions that will also be optimal from both CAPEX and OPEX point of view.
For your unique offshore challenge, Wärtsilä will provide a tailored solution to meet your needs. With extensive experience and a proven track record, Wärtsilä is trusted by offshore operators around the world, delivering customised solutions that drive success.
These innovative solutions help you ensure that your vessels are future-ready, environmentally compliant, and operating at peak efficiency.
Wärtsilä engines and generating sets, along with our advanced hybrid solutions, play a crucial role in improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. As the offshore industry seeks to optimize operations and reduce expenses, our integrated systems deliver unparalleled performance and reliability.
Instead of only offering parts for vessels, Wärtsilä can deliver performance: integrated offshore vessel systems were the parts work optimally with the others.
An integrated offshore vessel system may consist of the following, for example:
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is more critical than ever, with ever-tightening regulations. You will appreciate the many solutions in Wärtsilä’s portfolio that drive sustainability.
For example, the Wärtsilä HY hybrid system for offshore operations will save you fuel, especially when a vessel is in dynamic position operation. Fuel savings mean lower operational costs and fewer emissions.
The difference between a simpler hybrid system and Wärtsilä HY is the “brain” and the intelligent core, Energy Management System EMS. It integrates and controls the hybrid propulsion components in the vessel and makes sure that the power system works in an optimal way. It also safeguards the battery lifetime because it will not charge or discharge it over the allowed limits.
Wärtsilä is leading the way in developing a wide range of engine and fuel gas supply systems to help ship owners navigate the route to reduced GHG emissions – whatever fuels they choose.
Engines that run on methanol can offer tailored pathways to decarbonisation. Engines running on ammonia will also have a big role in the decarbonisation of shipping. For example, the Norwegian shipowner Eidesvik plans a world’s first ammonia-fuelled platform supply vessel (PSV) conversion for their Viking Energy PSV.
Wärtsilä’s modern engines are modular. This means that, as long as ship owners consider storage requirements, they can already plan to use new fuels on vessels being built today.
Because ensuring reliable and safe operations is a priority in the offshore industry, offshore applications require excellent manoeuvrability. Wärtsilä’s portfolio of thrusters offers solutions for station keeping and manoeuvrability.
Thrusters work in extreme conditions and they must work safely and reliably, with minimal maintenance. Your safe choice will be a thruster proven in the field for many years. Wärtsilä has thrusters delivered over 30 years ago that are still in operation.
These are just two examples of customers who have selected Wärtsilä’s proven thrusters for their offshore vessels.
De Jian, a heavy-lifting jack-up vessel owned by China Yantai Salvage uses Wärtsilä transverse thrusters to ensure excellent station keeping and manoeuvrability.
Sleipnir, the world’s largest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) is designed for heavy lifting operations. Dynamic positioning is critical to its operations, and it uses Wärtsilä retractable, underwater mountable thrusters.
