- The Wärtsilä 32 engine series, which includes the W16V32, has a track record dating back to the mid-1990s, with its development as the Vasa 32 beginning during the oil crisis of the 1970s. The first Vasa 32 engines were sold in 1979. The engine was later renamed Wärtsilä 32 in the mid-1990s to give it a more international identity.
- The W16V32 is part of the Wärtsilä 32 engine family, which offers a wide power output range and is available in 12V, 16V, and 20V cylinder configurations. It sits as a high-power output option within this series, positioned below the 20-cylinder variant but above the 12-cylinder model.
- The Wärtsilä W16V32 is chosen for its proven reliability, high power density, and fuel flexibility, allowing it to operate efficiently on various fuels including heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), and liquid biofuels. Its compact size and fast starting times also make it suitable for demanding applications, including offshore vessels and auxiliary electric production where high electrical loads are needed.
