Tugboats steer the way
Exciting times for the tugboat industry are here! Technological ideas and advances are unlocking new opportunities for economics and operations of the business that is just as aware about environment conservation as it is about safety and profitability. So here’s how the industry is striking this fine balance. - Innovation, 31 October 2017
Wärtsilä remote controls an 80 m ship from 8000 km away
A team from Wärtsilä Dynamic Positioning remote controlled a platform supply vessel in the North Sea using a standard satellite link from its office in California. It is a step towards developing the company’s Smart Marine capabilities and an industry first. - Innovation, 25 October 2017
Wärtsilä HY sets a new benchmark
Wärtsilä HY is the first, integrated hybrid power module in the marine market.

With Wärtsilä as a single supplier, it is a new benchmark in alternative propulsion. - In Detail, 23 October 2017
For the love of hero dogs
Working as a rescue dog handler has taught René Bertelsen patience, discipline, and prioritisation – important skills he is able to apply in his ‘day job’ as a sales manager at Wärtsilä. - Environment, 18 October 2017
Energy efficiency: key to a low-carbon world
Switching to renewable sources of power may be the future, but the need to improve the energy efficiency of existing power systems cannot be ignored. Wärtsilä’s Guaranteed Asset Performance programme is one way to make that possible. - Energy, 17 October 2017
GoSol.org sparks solar entrepreneurship in East Africa
Where accessible energy is in short supply, it is tough to meet the challenges of day-to-day living, let alone run a small business. But a Wärtsilä-sponsored project running in rural Kenya and Tanzania, GoSol.org, is providing a clean, off-the-grid solution to help local entrepreneurs – and communities – thrive. - Environment, 11 October 2017
$Simple math, tough questions$

Simple math, tough questions!
As the world mourns professor Maryam Mirzakhani, we are left to wonder why she, as a woman, was still an exception in mathematics, and why she's yet the only woman to have won a Fields Medal – a mathematician’s ‘Nobel Prize’. - Innovation, 10 October 2017
We need more than a digital paintjob
Digital transformation entails more than replacing something analogue for something digital. It means changing the way we work, collaborate, think, and act. - Innovation, 4 October 2017
Digitalisation – the new normal
As the world embraces digitalisation, the industrial sector must learn from the successful examples set by other sectors in order to accelerate its transformation. - Innovation, 3 October 2017
How digital is the shipping industry?
The most digitally enabled operators in the shipping industry are a decade ahead, compared to the late digital bloomers. The question is: what makes some take the leap and others drag their feet? - Innovation, 27 September 2017
A Piece of Cloud
How do you create new user-friendly cloud services in less than three days? Participants of Wärtsilä’s SAP cloud hackathon say the key lies in teamwork, innovative spirit, and lots of coffee! - Innovation, 26 September 2017
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
