Technology that changed the course of the marine business for the better

Deteriorating heavy fuel qualities and a growing demand for better cost-efficiency and reliability were challenges faced by the marine business in the 1970s.

Wartsila Diesel was the first engine manufacturer to meet these challenges with customized medium-speed technology for even the poorest quality heavy fuels available. The Wartsila Vasa 32 marked the beginning of a new era and set the course for the entire marine business towards higher profits with lower-quality fuels.

Since then the Vasa engine family has maintained its lead in the development of medium-speed diesel engines.

The Vasa 20,22,32 and 46 are all forerunners in their output range and they all share built-in reliability based on time- tested Wartsila Diesel heavy fuel technology. 20 1 22 Mi 32 46

The Wartsila Vasa engine range gives you all the power you need with virtually any grade of fuel.
