“It is a great honour to receive this recognition from the DPC Innovation Awards. We are very happy to see that the Wärtsilä Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal has made an impression in so many different sectors of the maritime industry.

First fully diveable seal on the market
Wärtsilä Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal, launched in December 2015, is a fully split, underwater serviceable seal that minimises overhaul downtime and costs. The seal has been designed to provide a smoother, faster service, as well as enhanced overall performance and endurance. The Wärtsilä Sternguard In-Water Serviceable Seal can be used to retrofit any other type of seal and is available for merchant, offshore, IWW and cruise & ferry vessel types, running on Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) or mineral oils.
Wärtsilä’s ground-breaking 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 has been type-approved by the major classification societies.
