Valmet Power Transmission Inc Volvo Penta of the Americas Waterjet Systems Inc Support Grows For Wartsila 64 Developed in response to demand for large medium-speed engines, the Wartsila 64 is designed for high output, compact size, fuel economy, good dynamic properties, low emissions, reliabil- ity and easy maintenance. The engine is targeted to solve a great many power problems, and was designed for large and fast cargo ships, which can benefit from the advantages of a single medium-speed main engine, CP propeller and shaft generator; large tankers, which can be pow- ered with a redundant twin- engine plant, providing efficient shipboard electricity; and large containerships, which are limited by the power that can be trans- mitted though a single propeller, and the physical size of two-stroke units. The engines have proven popu- lar on ultra large cruise ships, which can be powered by diesel- electric plants of any output with a much smaller number of cylin- ders than ever before.
