Wärtsilä has been presented with two different industry awards within the space of one week for their Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal technology.
The technology was celebrated by both the Environmental Technology Award at the 2016 Ship Efficiency Awards and the Technical Innovation award at the Seatrade Maritime Awards for the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent & Africa.
The Seatrade Maritime Award was presented on October 31, 2016 in Dubai. The Ship Efficiency Award was presented on November 2, 2016.
Wärtsilä’s seal is the first of its kind on the market and a result of extensive market research, data analysis, product development, testing and validation. It was launched in December 2015 and is available for merchant, offshore, IWW and cruise & ferry vessel types, running on Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) or mineral oils.
“We are very happy to receive this recognition from both the Seatrade Maritime Awards and the Ship Efficiency Awards. We take great pride in Wärtsilä Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal, which as the first fully diveable seal on the market and represents our long history in designing, developing and manufacturing seal products to serve a variety of customer segments and needs,” says Damian O’Toole, Director, Wärtsilä Seals & Bearings.
