Marine vessels often require powerful engines capable of sustained operation under demanding conditions. This Wärtsilä 14VW32E engine is designed to meet these needs, delivering 4900 kW of power at 750 rpm. Fuel efficiency is a key consideration, and this engine achieves a SFOC (diesel) of 167.7 g/kWh at its optimal point. The 14VW32E features a V-configuration with 14 cylinders, each boasting an impressive 610 kW output. Its robust design incorporates two-stage turbocharging with intercooling, common rail direct injection, and a four-stroke cycle. This engine is capable of operating on a variety of fuels, including Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), and even dual-fuel options with LNG/Diesel or Natural Gas. Wärtsilä provides comprehensive support services, including the Slow Steaming Upgrade K, specifically addressing potential issues related to low-load operation. The 14VW32E is a proven performer with over 1,000 MW installed globally and millions of running hours logged.

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.
