Workshop services

Wärtsilä workshops around the globe are a key component for the overhauling work of equipment and are a strong support to our field service activities.

Maintenance overhaul is an important down time in the production schedule; that is why many operators want to manage it in the shortest possible time, with no compromise on quality though. Wärtsilä workshop services are the solution to that equation as they overhaul complete systems in the shortest possible down time with highest quality standard and warranty.

Wärtsilä workshops are staffed with highly trained personnel with years of experience in service. They are equipped with all dedicated work machines; specialists are at hand and there are close links with the engineering department and most of the necessary spare parts in stock and works according to classification rules.

An overhaul in Wärtsilä workshop cuts back overhaul times and gives guaranteed quality, reducing the risk of breakdown during operation. If needed, we will take care of the logistic chain between your installation and our service centres. We can also provide exchange component pool.

Propulsion workshops

Wärtsilä dedicated propulsion workshop overhauls Lips controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP), Steerable Thrusters, Side Thrusters and Waterjets, as well as CPP hubs, Bow Thrusters and Steerable Thrusters from other manufacturers. We can simply take care of everything from the oil distribution box to the entire installation.

In Wärtsilä propulsion workshop we can carry out various metallurgical repairs: propeller repair, blade repair, hub repair etc. for both Wärtsilä make and other manufacturers.

A propeller is a vulnerable piece of equipment that can be seriously damaged by underwater objects. For all propeller or propeller blade damages, we can offer the service of our repair department - a team of dedicated, highly skilled technicians.

We also correct heavy running propeller by:

  • Cleaning the hull and propeller
  • Diameter reduction
  • Changing the pitch by twisting the blades
  • Trailing edge cutting
  • Trailing edge bending
  • Replacement with a propeller of a new design
