Wärtsilä to Launch Sea-Master at SMM

Set to launch at SMM 2016 in Hamburg September 6-9, 2016, the new Wärtsilä Sea-Master system uses digital technology to monitor shaft bearings and seals to help customers maximize uptime and lower lifecycle costs of vessel shaft lines. The Sea-Master system, available for all vessel segments and ship types as well as for new build and retrofit applications, collects real-time data from the tail shaft of the vessel, providing information about the operational health of the tail shaft equipment. “The Wärtsilä Sea-Master system is an exciting example of how digitalisation can advance the maintenance of propulsion technology,” sid Matthew Bignell, Sales Development Manager, Wärtsilä Seals & Bearings.
