In brief
Who we serve
Today’s seafarers face a new operational reality. Ships are increasingly automated, fuel choices are changing, cyber risks are rising, and global trade is shifting. To lead safely and efficiently, crews need to update their skills using modern tools and adaptive ways of learning.
Wärtsilä’s portfolio meets this demand with a unified ecosystem of marine simulator training solutions and services. From full‑mission simulators to cloud‑based and XR training, we help training providers deliver consistent, scalable, and future‑ready learning.
Explore the navigational simulators for the next generation of seafarers. Training solutions are available across multiple media, from traditional classroom-based and full mission simulation to virtual reality and distributed learning models. All on a single software platform.
Master engine room operations, machinery systems, and onboard technology with our comprehensive technological simulators. These solutions enable safe, repeatable training for engineers and technical crew, supporting both conventional and future fuel systems.
Train crews anywhere, anytime with our cloud-based marine simulator platform. Realistic scenarios, advanced ship models, and collaborative training tools without additional hardware. Perfect for distributed learning and scalable competence development.
Immerse trainees in lifelike ship and tug handling exercises using extended reality (XR) and virtual reality (VR). Smart Realities delivers hands-on experience with advanced visualisation and sound, for bridge and engine room scenarios.
Prepare crews for the shift toward more sustainable maritime operations. Our growing set of future‑fuel training modules currently supports LNG and methanol, helping seafarers build competence and confidence in handling alternative fuels safely and efficiently.
Already available:
LNG bunkering and fuel gas supply system simulator. A super-realistic simulator will build your trainees’ competence on LNG bunkering for better onboard safety.
Methanol Bunkering Simulator. Trainees get a realistic experience of the process of bunkering methanol fuel. This prepares them for future operations.
Each solution is built on Wärtsilä’s unified simulation platform, ensuring consistency, scalability, and compliance across all training formats.
