We have just published our Interim Report January-September 2024. The energy market continued to be influenced by protectionism and elevated geopolitical risks. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the pace of the global energy transition, renewable energy sources have remained dominant in new capacity additions. The increasing need for balancing power to support the growth in renewable energy deployments has resulted in improved demand for engine power plants compared to last year. In the marine market, geopolitical conflicts continued to affect trade flows around the globe. Sanctions on Russia and attacks on ships in the Red Sea have resulted in longer average shipping distances, higher transportation costs, and delays to global supply chains, driving the need for additional ship capacity. Despite growth in shipyard capacity and output, especially in China but also in South Korea, newbuild shipyard capacity utilization remains high, indicating that a shortage of yard capacity still exists.

This past weekend, our Houston colleagues and their families joined forces with SPLASh (Stopping Plastics and Litter Along Shorelines) for a coastal cleanup at Texas City Dike. Over the years, the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has witnessed the devastating impact of trash pollution on birds and other wildlife along the Upper Texas coast. In response, ABC teamed up with Gulf Coast Bird Observatory and Black Cat GIS in 2020 to create SPLASh, addressing the critical issues of trash pollution and wildlife conservation. 🌿🐦 We are proud to share that our team collected 223.48 pounds of trash in less than two hours! It was a fantastic opportunity for our team to demonstrate our commitment to protecting the environment while making a positive impact in our community. 💪🌍 We are extremely grateful to our amazing employee volunteers and their families who generously dedicated their time and energy to support this cause. #Wärtsilä #SPLASh #WildlifeConservation #Sustainability #CommunityEngagement
