Low-speed two-stroke engines for smaller vessels

Developed especially for smaller vessel types with slim stern sections like small bulkers and tanker vessels, handysize and container vessels or feeder ships, the engine runs on lower rpms with reduced fuel consumption. According to Wärtsilä, the RT-flex50 can be operated with a full electronic control of the exhaust valve activation and fuel injection. It is also designed to operate on a wide range of fuels including marine diesel oil (MDO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO) of different qualities.
