Smoother and easier overhauls. You can avoid unpleasant surprises because the package includes the necessary spare parts – and the overhaul work is included.

Wärtsilä engine and propulsion overhaul packages – all in one service for smoother overhauls

Do you have an overhaul coming up for your Wärtsilä engine or propulsion equipment?

Usually, you must arrange all parts, services, and specialists well in advance, which can complicate your overhaul planning.

With the Wärtsilä engine and propulsion overhaul packages, you can have the necessary spare parts and certified professionals ready when you need them. These are all-in-one service packages, designed to support smoother, more predictable overhauls.

At a glance 

What they are: Cost-effective, comprehensive service packages for engine and propulsion overhauls. They include genuine, high-quality Wärtsilä spare parts and field and workshop services delivered by authorised Wärtsilä experts.

Why this matters: You avoid unpleasant surprises because the packages include the necessary spare parts – and the overhaul work is included.

How they work: Order the service at least six months before your ship’s overhaul; Wärtsilä provides the parts and authorised experts to carry out the work, and parts installed by an authorised Wärtsilä field service expert come with an 18 month spare parts warranty.

Where they apply: For overhauls of Wärtsilä engines and propulsion equipment, including transverse and steerable thrusters. You can also enhance the package by pre-ordering inspection-dependable parts to reduce delays.

Why an all in one overhaul package matters now

Overhauls are not only technical work – they are planning work. Usually, you must arrange all parts and tasks in advance, which can make an upcoming overhaul feel complex and time-sensitive. 

These all-in-one overhaul packages are designed to reduce “unknowns” in the process. Each package includes the necessary spare parts and the overhaul work, helping you avoid unpleasant surprises. 

Timing is part of the value. If you order at least six months before your ship’s overhaul, you can support on-time, on-budget maintenance of high quality – and be ready earlier instead of chasing parts and resources close to the overhaul date.

What the overhaul packages deliver for you

You get a smoother overhaul experience by bundling what you typically need to secure separately: the right spare parts and the authorised Wärtsilä experts to do the field and workshop work.

Because the parts are installed by an authorised Wärtsilä field service expert, you also benefit from an extensive 18‑month warranty for spare parts – supporting confidence in the work you’ve planned and paid for.

How the overhaul packages work

The Wärtsilä engine and propulsion overhaul packages are all-in-one services for planned overhauls. Each package includes the necessary components for the overhaul: genuine, high-quality Wärtsilä spare parts and field and workshop services performed by authorised Wärtsilä experts.

To use an overhaul package, you order the service at least six months before your ship’s overhaul. With the service ordered in advance, you can aim for on-time, on-budget maintenance of high quality.

If you want to reduce delays related to unexpected replacement needs, you can enhance the package with inspection-dependable parts. These are parts that are not included in the regular overhaul scope but may still need replacing based on inspection and may require special skills or knowledge.

In that enhanced option, Wärtsilä helps identify the parts you may need and stores them in a warehouse ready for delivery. You only purchase the parts you use for your ship’s overhaul, with a small service fee added.

This inspection‑dependable parts approach is also available as a standalone service, Wärtsilä Pick & Pay.
