Wärtsilä set to accelerate decarbonisation in Indonesia

Wärtsilä has inaugurated its new workshop and Land & Sea

Academy training facilities in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The facilities will reportedly assist and optimise the operations of the

company’s energy and maritime sector clients, as well as accelerate their

decarbonisation path.

Indonesia’s energy system is fast transforming to allow more flexible and

renewable power generation, in response to the urgent need to triple worldwide

renewable deployment to fulfil climate targets.

Erwin Vanderkerff, Managing Director and President, Wärtsilä Indonesia,

said: “The renewal of the workshop and training facilities is a concrete

proof-point of our strong, long-term commitment to support our customers in

Indonesia.

“The workshop is equipped with modern tools and machinery operated by

skilled personnel which enable all types of maintenance and repair work, as well

as remanufacturing and upgrades.”

Vanderkerff added: “The Wärtsilä Land & Sea Academy provides

high-quality training solutions covering all aspects of managing and operating

installations, including maintenance, safety, reliability and performance, and

will help customers to master sophisticated Wärtsilä technologies and

equipment.

“With this investment, we will further develop our local capabilities to

provide the best services to our energy and marine customers and partners both

in Indonesia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.”

Frederic Carron, Vice President, Middle East & Asia, Wärtsilä Energy,

stated: “We are proud to closely collaborate with our stakeholders in Indonesia

to ensure availability of local expertise and knowledge.

“Through our commitment and investments, we can help provide reliable and

affordable power generation to support economic growth and accelerate

decarbonisation in Indonesia.”

This month, Wärtsilä delivered its autonomous docking system, SmartDock, to

Seaspan to progress self-docking and undocking operations.
