Not sure which maintenance approach is right for your situation?
Different assets, operating profiles and maintenance histories often require different approaches.
Whether you are evaluating maintenance, overhaul, reconditioning, exchange parts or a longer-term support model, Wärtsilä experts can help you identify the most suitable next step for your vessel or fleet.
Improving efficiency is not always about a major upgrade or a single technology investment.
Depending on your vessel, operating profile and objectives, the biggest gains may come from maintenance improvements, operational changes, equipment upgrades, digital optimisation, or a combination of several approaches.
Whether your goal is to reduce fuel consumption, improve vessel performance, lower emissions or extend asset lifetime, Wärtsilä can help you identify the most effective next step.
Reduce fuel consumption and improve vessel efficiency
Improving fuel efficiency often starts with understanding where energy is being used the most – or lost. In some cases, operational changes deliver immediate benefits. In others, equipment upgrades or optimisation measures may offer the greatest return.
Wärtsilä can help you evaluate alternative improvement pathways and prioritise the actions most relevant to your vessel and operating profile.
Identify the most effective decarbonisation opportunities
Many operational and technical improvements can reduce both fuel consumption and emissions.
The challenge is often deciding where to start and which actions will deliver meaningful results for your vessel, fleet and compliance objectives.
Using fleet analysis, modelling and expert evaluation, Wärtsilä can help you compare options and build a prioritised improvement roadmap.

Not sure which long-term priorities deserve attention first?
Every fleet has different operational requirements, asset ages, performance goals and regulatory considerations.
Wärtsilä experts can help you evaluate your current situation, identify the most significant risks and opportunities, and determine the next steps that can best support long-term vessel performance and resilience.
The best service decision is often not only about what you want to achieve, but also when you can act.
Some improvements can be implemented immediately. Others require access to equipment during a maintenance stop, dry dock or major conversion project.
Understanding your next opportunity window can help you prioritise actions, combine activities efficiently and maximise the value of planned interventions.
Some opportunities can be evaluated and implemented without waiting for maintenance or dry dock periods.
Typical next steps may include:
Best for:
Maintenance windows are often an opportunity to do more than maintain equipment.
They can also be used to improve efficiency, address developing issues and prepare assets for longer-term operational requirements.
Typical actions may include:
Best for:
During the next dry dock
Dry dock is often the most practical opportunity to implement larger technical improvements.
Combining multiple activities within the same docking period can help reduce disruption while improving long-term vessel performance.
Typical actions may include:
Best for:
During a major retrofit or conversion project
A major retrofit creates an opportunity to rethink how a vessel will operate in the future.

Best for:
During a newbuild project
Many lifecycle decisions are easiest to make before a vessel enters service.
When planning a new vessel, it can be tempting to rely on equipment warranties alone. However, warranties typically focus on manufacturing and material defects, while long-term performance, reliability, crew readiness and maintenance planning require a broader lifecycle approach.
Starting lifecycle planning during the newbuild phase can help establish a stronger foundation for vessel availability, predictable maintenance costs, operational performance and future compliance from day one.
Typical considerations may include:
Best for:
Different actions become practical at different points in the vessel lifecycle.
Operational improvements may identify opportunities that are later addressed during maintenance. Maintenance activities may reveal upgrades that are best implemented during dry dock. Major retrofit projects often combine several improvement pathways into a single investment decision.
Wärtsilä can help you evaluate the options available today, prioritise future actions and identify the best sequence of improvements for your vessel or fleet.
