Wärtsilä Names China Distributor For Midsize Waterjets

Wärtsilä named Shanghai Wenli Engine Engineering (Wenli) as its distributor in China for the sales, distribution, installation, and after-sales service of the company’s range of midsize waterjets.

“The Chinese market for building high-speed ferries, patrol boats, fast workboats, and yachts is strong, and by providing high quality local support we can deliver quick response capability to serve this sector more effectively,” said Sander van Oosterhout, director Waterjets at Wärtsilä. “For this we believe that Wenli is the right partner for us, and we look forward to a successful relationship.”

The Wärtsilä Midsize waterjet series comprises five sizes for engine power ratings ranging from 1000 to 4500 kW. The company said the waterjets are designed to be easily maintained and are compact, lightweight and easy to install, with a plug-and-play package that reduces the time needed for installation by as much as 80%. Installation costs are, therefore, also significantly reduced, the company said.

“Wärtsilä is a well-recognized and successful global provider of quality waterjet solutions since 1976. We are honoured, therefore, to represent the most complete off-the-shelf waterjet on the market in China and to use all efforts to promote the Wärtsilä brand to our customers,” said Shanghai Wenli Engine Engineering General Manager, Zhou Wen Li.
