Wärtsilä Technological Simulators provide a realistic, risk‑free environment for training and assessing engine department and liquid cargo handling personnel. Designed to reflect modern vessel technologies and evolving fuel systems, the simulators enable engineers and technical crews to build competence through safe, repeatable, and highly realistic training.
As part of Wärtsilä’s unified simulation ecosystem, Technological Simulators support both conventional and future‑ready operations, helping operators and training organisations prepare crews for increasingly complex machinery, automation, and fuel systems.

Modern vessels rely on tightly integrated machinery and control systems that leave little room for error. Wärtsilä Technological Simulators allow crews to train on realistic models of complete ship systems, developing both technical proficiency and operational awareness.
Training can be conducted under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions, ensuring engineers fully understand system behaviour and interdependencies before operating real equipment onboard. Multi-language support enables localisation and helps reduce language barriers, improving accessibility and training effectiveness for diverse crews.
Wärtsilä Technological Simulators offer:
Training applications include, but are not limited to:
This breadth allows organisations to address both foundational competence and advanced operational scenarios.
Wärtsilä Technological Simulators can be deployed as classroom-based systems, full-mission simulator environments, cloud-based simulation services, or immersive 3D walkthroughs. This enables training organisations to select the delivery model that best fits their operational and training requirements, including:
All solutions are built on a common simulation platform, enabling consistency, scalability, and efficient updates across training programmes.
Technological simulators in numbers:
technological simulation installations
companies and institutions training on the platform
countries worldwide using Wärtsilä Technological Simulators
Available models and courseware support training aligned with relevant STCW requirements, IMO model courses, IGF Code training requirements, and recognised maritime simulation standards. This helps training providers and maritime organisations deliver competence development that reflects current industry expectations and regulatory frameworks
Simulated behaviours are verified against actual Wärtsilä technologies, including solutions such as W31 Hybrid Drive, LNGPac™ and Aquarius BWTS. This helps ensure realistic system behaviour, operational logic, and training outcomes across simulator environments.
Wärtsilä Technological Simulators are designed to evolve alongside vessel technology - supporting safer operations, higher competence, and more resilient crews.
Explore individual simulator solutions to find the right training environment for your crews, vessels, and operational challenges.
Whether you are building foundational engineering competence or preparing for future fuels and automation, Wärtsilä’s technological simulators provide a scalable path forward.
