Wärtsilä's programme
Wärtsilä NACOS DP Platinum - live demo of dynamic positioning
The Wärtsilä NACOS DP Platinum user interface represents a leap forward in intuitive ship controls. Full touch operation and screen layout engages the user while ensuring safer and more efficient operation. Only necessary and required information is presented, preventing confusion during critical operations. A common interface design and multi-function displays for all Wärtsilä NACOS DP Platinum products ensure consistent operating principles across the bridge. Wärtsilä NACOS DP Platinum systems can be configured to meet any class, from simple joystick systems to fully redundant Class 3 systems.
Wärtsilä Steerable Thrusters
The Wärtsilä Steerable Thruster (WST) has been developed in parallel with the latest operating demands for tugs, river-going vessels, and various offshore support vessels.
The aim, as with all Wärtsilä products and solutions, is to ensure optimal efficiency, high hydrodynamic performance, less maintenance and better accessibility for serviceability. With eight thruster types, ranging from 700 to 3200 kW, the WST enables these vessels to meet and exceed the performance levels required for today’s competitive operating environment.

Wärtsilä SceneScan - live demo of of a targetless laser sensor
The SceneScan System is a high accuracy rotating laser sensor to provide positional information to allow automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or vessel. It is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate. SceneScan provides tracking information relative to natural or man-made structures within the sensor field of view. It tracks by matching its current observation of the scene against a map generated from previous observations of the scene.
Wärtsilä water lubricated seals
Wärtsilä provides superior quality products that offer true value for the whole life of the vessel. Our water lubricated seals prevent expensive emergency dockings and downtime, avoiding leakages and the associated costs. Our water lubricated seals are fully compliant with environmental legislation, including the Vessel General Permit (VGP), so you can sail with confidence. Wärtsilä is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for every major component included within our packages and products, which ensures the perfect harmony of our solutions. Additionally, our global stock and service engineer network means we can support you and your vessel anywhere in the world.

Wärtsilä Navi-Planner - live demo of Smart Voyage Planning
With the new Wärtsilä Navi-Planner we will show live how voyage planning is made smart. Navi-Planner removes the clutter and obstacles in the voyage planning. It streamlines the process of planning and data management because all the navigational data is accessible with a single click of a button. Using one of the world’s largest navigational databases, a safe and efficient route is prepared by our intelligent technology and available for the Captain’s finalization onboard. See live how Navi-Planner can help you to increase safety and efficiency with optimized voyage planning.
