This equipment category includes large marine engines designed for methanol and dual-fuel operations. The Wärtsilä 14VW32 Methanol is a part of this family, featuring a V-configuration with 14 cylinders and a bore of 320 mm and stroke of 400 mm. It operates at 750 rpm and produces 4480 kW of power, utilizing methanol or marine diesel oil as fuel types. The engine benefits from two-stage turbocharging with intercooling and common rail direct injection for efficient combustion. Common maintenance considerations include issues related to low-load operations, cylinder liner wear, and fuel injection system maintenance due to extended overhaul intervals. Regular inspections are advised to prevent crankcase oil mist build-up and potential fires.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
