Finnish ship engine and technology group Wartsila has upped third quarter profit a fraction as cruiseship orders supported its marine business.
Net earnings to 30 September were EUR 85m ($100m), from EUR 84m in 2016.
The order intake increased 19% to EUR 1.35bn, while revenue was up 9% to EUR 1.17bn.
CEO Jaako Eskola called the performance satisfactory.
"A favourable contracting mix in the marine markets supported order intake growth in Marine Solutions, the highlight being a contract to supply the main engines and exhaust gas cleaning systems to Norwegian Cruise Line's four new generation cruiseships to be built by Fincantieri," he added.
