Wärtsilä upgrades global turbocharger service network

The Finnish engineering group says that its investment in expanding the network means that it can now offer customers comprehensive turbocharger services coupled with engine knowhow “in flexible cooperation with other Wärtsilä service centres.” The result is that customers will save both time and money by overhauling turbochargers and engines simultaneously.
The specialist workshops are tooled with equipment required specifically for turbocharger maintenance, and certified service engineers trained for turbocharger overhauls both in workshops and on site. The facilities have been set up to provide assistance in troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrades and replacements.
Tomas Hakala, vice president, four-stroke engine services at Wärtsilä, explained that the initiative is aimed at optimising the performance of customers’ assets. “By offering complete turbocharger services closely coupled with the engine maintenance expertise, we can apply a holistic approach that optimises maintenance operations across the equipment. Our customers value our flexible one-stop-shop service model, which allows them to gain significant cost savings,” he said.
