Sailing in Unchartered Territory
The global shipping industry has come of age with more automation, game-changing technologies and the-internet-of-things. But embarking on this voyage has also made it a prime target for unforeseen, invisible, and highly destructive cyber-attacks. Find out what’s at stake and how the industry can safely sail against this tide. - Innovation, 20 September 2017
Can an engine sing?
When British sound architect Tom Middleton was given the data gathered from Wärtsilä’s engine, he did what he does best – compose a song. We tell you how he did and, yes, we also have the song for you. Listen in. - Innovation, 13 September 2017
Digitalisation as a service, not a product
The new and improved performance management system, SkyLight 2.0, reduces emissions and fuel consumption. It also serves an example of how efficient digitalisation of the shipping industry is about developing services, not products. - Innovation, 5 September 2017
The human touch
Digitalisation is dictating all narratives these days, but will it make human contact redundant in the future? We posed this question to Annika Parkkonen, the new Vice President, Human Resources at Wärtsilä Marine Solutions. Her answer will calm your nerves. At least for now. - Innovation, 30 August 2017
Catching the ‘surge’
Capturing the power of the waves is a complex task, as the sea is constantly changing. One of the most promising wave energy devices is WaveRoller, a submerged panel equipped with Wärtsilä’s components. - In Detail, 29 August 2017
‘Disruptive sustainability’ – from buzzword to reality
Disruptive sustainability was the theme of the 2017 Nor-Shipping trade fair in Norway. But what does it really mean, and how do we make it more than a catchy phrase and a hollow bandwagon? - Innovation, 29 August 2017
Raising the bar on safety
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) has existed in some form for over a hundred years, but it’s certainly not sitting around gathering barnacles. Instead, the rulebook is continually changing to reflect the industry’s enhanced capabilities when it comes to safety on the seas – particularly when it comes to a ship’s powerhouse. With technology continually raising the bar on safety, keeping a vessel safe and sound means staying very up to date with both the rules and the technological possibilities. It means both staying informed, and taking action to ensure that a vessel’s set-up meets the highest of standards. - Innovation, 23 August 2017
The classical connection
World-renowned conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen believes classical music inspires leadership. Read on to see what’s the connection. - Innovation, 23 August 2017
Building the perfect hybrid
Combining combustion engines and energy storage is a winning formula for Wärtsilä. We tell you why. - Innovation, 22 August 2017
Going green the hybrid way
Last year, the United Kingdom generated more power through wind farms than coal power plants. Read on to find out how and why the move towards clean energy is gathering momentum. - Environment, 16 August 2017
The right fit
Thanks to new green regulations, the marine industry is gearing up to use Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) to protect the various ecosystems their ships operate in. Here are two things they must keep in mind to ensure that transition goes off without a hitch. - Environment, 15 August 2017
Innovation sails into the shipping industry
The UN estimates that 90% of the world’s physical goods end up in a shipping container before arriving at their destination. For an industry this well integrated with the global economy, it is yet to be transformed by the efficiencies that digital solutions have brought to other industries. This, however, is changing with technology start-ups, backed by venture capitalists, poised to transform the shipping industry. - Innovation, 9 August 2017
How shore power protects California from fatal pollutants
Wärtsilä has carried out more than 100 installations of its container solution SamCon for ‘cold ironing’ to connect cargo ships to local power sources at California’s ports. - Innovation, 2 August 2017
Using gravity to light up Sub-Saharan Africa
A UK-based organization is using gravity to offer a safe and efficient alternative to toxic kerosene lamps in the developing world. We tell you how it works. - Innovation, 26 July 2017
The only way is ahead
Challenges are merely exciting opportunities to Birgit Liodden, Director of Nor-Shipping. She is one of the most provocative and influential voices calling for the maritime industry to embrace change in preparation for the future. - Innovation, 25 July 2017
Inland shipping’s day in the sun
The newest EU directive regarding emission standards puts a heavy strain on the inland shipping industry. One of the most promising solutions to comply is the use of LNG. Wärtsilä’s dual-fuel technology blazes the trail. - Environment, 19 July 2017
The first Wärtsilä HY contract signed
By 2018, the first vessels equipped with the Wärtsilä HY hybrid power module will start operating in the Port of Genoa. Italian tug operator Rimorchiatori Riuniti was first in line to acquire the innovative, green propulsion technology. - Innovation, 18 July 2017
Africa – the last maritime frontier
The blue economy in Africa remains largely underdeveloped. Harnessing its massive potential is essential to foster sustainable economic development, create jobs, and provide transport to a growing population. The key is to develop local maritime expertise. - Innovation, 12 July 2017
Sunny side up
Solar energy has led the growing popularity of sustainable renewable energy sources for some time. Wärtsilä has tracked the trend to develop solar and hybrid solutions complemented by a new operation and maintenance services offering - and is now poised to become a global energy systems integrator. - Environment, 12 July 2017
DEME-d fit for dredging up the future!
Belgian company DEME and Wärsilä joined forces to build, at 40 MW, the world’s most powerful LNG-fuelled dredger. Read on to see why this is important. - Environment, 11 July 2017
