Wärtsilä X82
KEY BENEFITS
•• Compact design with limited engine
width and height, combined with low
shaft speed
•• Extended rating field offering optimum
propeller speed for different applications
•• Low fuel consumption thanks the
application of FAST injectors
•• Reliability based on many RT-flex82T
engines in service
•• Stable operation at low speed due to
the superior electronically controlled
common-rail concept
WÄRTSILÄ X82 RATING FIELD The new engine parameters offer an
increased flexibility for selecting the most
efficient propeller speed, thus giving
minimised daily fuel consumption, by using
the appropriate propeller diameter for the
projected ship design and mission profile.
Thanks to the higher engine de-rating
potential and lower propeller revolutions and
the utilisation of a larger propeller diameter,
the application areas have been increased
significantly. Moreover, the unique Wärtsilä
extended layout field (R1+) offers the
possibility to select this engine for container
TYPICAL APPLICATION AREAS
The Wärtsilä X82 engine is perfectly suited
as main engine for VLCC, VLOC as well as for
Panamax container vessels due to its extended
and optimised rating field.

long maintenance-free operation. It also allows extended Time Between

Overhaul (TBO) as much as 5 years. The service-friendly design will reduce
downtime, maintain vessel operation and cut operating costs. Together with
Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and service agreements, the overhaul
interval could be even further extended, thus minimising maintenance
costs and maximising the revenue-earning capability of the vessel.
