Large marine vessels often require powerful and reliable engines to propel them across oceans. The Wärtsilä 9LW31SG engine is a dual-fuel unit designed to meet these demands. It boasts a robust 2700kW output, fueled by LNG (Spark-Ignited). With a 9-cylinder configuration, a bore of 310mm, and a stroke of 430mm, this engine delivers a mean effective pressure of 30 bar. The 9LW31SG operates at a speed of 750 rpm and features two-stage turbocharging with intercooling for enhanced performance. Its fuel injection system utilizes common rail direct injection for precise fuel delivery. Weighing approximately 57.1 tonnes, this engine incorporates a 4-stroke design with 2 inlet and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder. The 9LW31SG has a piston speed of 10.75 m/s and a specific fuel oil consumption of 167.7 g/kWh at its optimal point.

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.
