Marine market sentiment remained positive for Wärtsilä's key segments

Low capacity available at shipyards combined with further escalation of newbuild prices have limited investments

  • The number of vessels ordered in the review period increased to 1 356 (1 095 in the corresponding period in 2022, excluding late reporting of contracts).
  • Mostly driven by the changed mix of contracted vessels. The uptake of alternative fuels remained more limited with 316 orders reported, representing 23% (30%) of all contracted vessels and 44% (58%) of vessel capacity.
  • Demand for new cruise ship capacity remained limited as cruise lines are focused on managing the current orderbook and deleveraging their business.
  • In July, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) revised its strategy on greenhouse gas emission reduction from ships which puts pressure on shipping companies to increase their investments to decarbonise their operations.

Solid long-term opportunities in energy market

Energy transition outlook improving amid fragile global economy

  • Market share stayed at 13% (13%), as global orders for natural gas and liquid-fuelled power plants decreased by 22% to 10.0 GW during the twelve-month period ending in June 2023.
  • Market decrease from the high levels of 2022 was driven by Europe and Asia.
  • Global natural gas prices witnessed significant price volatility in Q3, showcasing the market's remaining sensitivity to disruptions in supply and demand.
  • The trend in transition to renewable energy sources continues globally, being a key driver in the development of battery energy storage and thermal balancing technologies.
  • The energy transition outlook in the mid-term remains strong.

The market data includes prime movers over 5 MW in size in up to 400 MW gas and liquid-fuelled gas turbine plants and engine plants of all sizes. The gas turbine data is gathered from the McCoy Power Report, reported with a one quarter delay due to data availability. Engine data is collected from press releases and Wärtsilä sales teams. Output of steam turbines for combined cycles is estimated. Power plant market share reporting was updated this quarter to reflect our most relevant markets more accurately. Previously, market shares included gas turbine plants up to 500 MW but did not include non-Wärtsilä engine plants.

Technology and partnership highlights

Enabling industry decarbonisation

Wärtsilä solutions chosen for world's first methanol fuelled hybrid RoRo vessels

  • Wärtsilä will supply an integrated hybrid propulsion system for two new hybrid RoRo vessels being built for Swedish shipping company Stena RoRo.
  • Each vessel will be equipped with two Wärtsilä 32M multi-fuel engines capable now of operating on methanol fuel and with ammonia ready notation.
  • The combination of new sustainable fuels and electrification is in line with the company's sustainable operations target.
  • Wärtsilä has a strong relationship with Stena RoRo, and as early as 2015 Wärtsilä converted the Stena Germanica to operate on methanol fuel.

Wärtsilä's long-standing relationship with Brazilian customer enhanced with renewal of Operation & Maintenance agreement

  • Wärtsilä has signed a renewal of its Operation & Maintenance agreement with Brazilian independent energy producer Geradora de Energia do Amazonas (Gera Amazonas).
  • The agreement covers the UTE Ponta Negra power plant in Manaus and has been in place since 2006 when the plant was commissioned.
  • The two-year renewal ensures that Gera Amazonas can meet its power purchase obligations with Eletronorte.
  • Originally the plant operated on heavy fuel oil, but in 2013 it was converted to operate with gas/diesel technology. The plant now operates in 24/7 baseload mode delivering 60 MW to the system.
