Wärtsilä ship design units combined
One of the latest Wärtsilä designs: Tug 80
The units involved in this re-organisation include the recently acquired naval architect companies Vik-Sandvik of Norway, Conan Wu & Associates (CWA) of Singapore, and SCHIFFKO of Germany, as well as the company’s conceptual ship design unit in Finland.
The new set up will generate a variety of new designs, from simple, low-cost, standard vessels to more high-end, ground-breaking tonnage. Wärtsilä, with a broad and high quality offering of ship design services, expects to increase its share of the ship design market, with the main focus being on a full design scope approach.
The expansion into ship design is in line in Wärtsilä’s strategy to strengthen its position as a total solutions provider, and to be the most valued partner for its customers. Through ship design Wärtsilä can offer competitive solutions that will lead to better total efficiency, improved environmental performance, and reduced life cycle costs for its customers.
