A new online platform for the popular Wärtsilä Encyclopedia of Marine Technology, formerly known as the Encyclopedia of Ship Technology by Wärtsilä, is being launched.
The new site is more user-friendly and has more links to relevant internal and external data than the previous platform. It also has common functionality with the existing wartsila.com website and better connections with social media sites, thereby enabling sharing and more convenient user interaction.
Industry Support Programme
The Encyclopedia is part of Wärtsilä's ongoing industry support programme aimed at helping current and future marine engineers, naval architects, and other industry specialists. It also provides valuable assistance to anyone reviewing the shipbuilding trends that are moving the industry forward. The site provides definitions for current terminology used in the marine industry's technical vocabulary.
The first version was published in 2008. The rapid development of new technologies led to the need for a second edition that was launched in June 2015.
