As the Wärtsilä brand continues to offer a wider range of options for its specific operational needs, the debut of this new engine further helps Wärtsilä's vision of a smart ocean.
Designed to support a wide range of applications in the marine and offshore markets, the Wärtsilä14 can be used as a main propulsion unit or as an auxiliary generator set, making it ideal for installing hybrid systems.
This compact but powerful high-speed engine is available in 12- and 16-cylinder configurations with mechanical propulsion power output of 755 to 1340 kW and 675 to 1155 KWe in auxiliary and diesel-electric configurations.
Based on key considerations such as power-to-weight ratio, fuel type, energy efficiency, safety and environmental compliance, Wärtsilä's latest generator set products are ideal for ships, ship owners and operators. Operating conditions include tugboats, fishing boats, offshore service vessels, small ferries, and commercial auxiliary machinery markets.
This product is the result of a close collaboration between Wärtsilä and Liebherr. Liebherr is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery and a leading technology supplier in the vertical sector in many other industries.
The first Wärtsilä 14 products are scheduled to be delivered in the second half of 2019, and Liebherr will be responsible for engine development, classification and production. This new engine will be supported by Wärtsilä's unparalleled global lifecycle support and service network.
Stefan Wiik, vice president of Wärtsilä Marine Power Solutions, said: “We are proud of this small but powerful high-speed engine because it heralds a new, strategically important market for our brand. Our global position as a leader in fully integrated technology and hybrid solutions and demonstrates the tangible benefits of our close collaboration with Liebherr."
Announced the introduction of generator sets and improved their products by introducing HYTug 40 designs and concepts. The small HYTug launched in 2017 is designed for shallow draught operation. This improved version includes two Wärtsilä 14 engines and a hybrid propulsion solution for flexible operating settings including zero emission mode. In fact, HYTug 40 is characterized by low maintenance and operating costs, and is fully compliant with global environmental regulations. If paired with the Wärtsilä Nitrogen Oxide Reduction System (NOR), it can easily meet the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier III. .
Wärtsilä 14 will set new benchmarks for the main propulsion and auxiliary propulsion solutions on the market and become the benchmark for tangible financial, operational and environmental benefits; these improvements will be key to the achievement and continued profitability of shipowners and operators around the world.
