AKASAKA · JAPAN · MEDIUM-SPEED DIESEL
Genuine, OEM and reconditioned spares for Akasaka marine diesel engines — A-series, AX-series, AH30 & DM-series — sourced beside Alang, shipped to India, UAE, Singapore & worldwide.
A CENTURY OF JAPANESE DIESEL
Akasaka Tekkosho (Akasaka Iron Works) is founded in Japan, beginning a long history of building marine engines and machinery.
Akasaka concentrates on medium-speed marine diesel engines, becoming a trusted maker for Japanese shipyards and coastal fleets.
The A-series trunk-piston engines — A31, A34, A37 and A41 — go on to power thousands of bulk carriers and cargo ships worldwide.
The AX-series and DM-series broaden the line-up for newer tonnage, alongside the AH30 for auxiliary and propulsion duty.
Akasaka engines remain in service across the global merchant fleet — and Wattmare keeps every generation running with parts from Alang.
WHO IS AKASAKA
Akasaka Diesels (Akasaka Tekkosho) is one of Japan’s long-established marine engine builders, founded in 1910. The company specialises in medium-speed, trunk-piston marine diesel engines fitted as main and auxiliary propulsion across bulk carriers, general cargo ships, coasters and fishing vessels — particularly Japanese-built tonnage. Its A-series, AX-series, AH30 and DM-series engines are valued for rugged simplicity and long service life, and Wattmare supplies spare parts across every one of them.

ENGINE SERIES WE COVER
Akasaka’s classic workhorse trunk-piston diesels behind countless bulk carriers and cargo ships. We hold liners, pistons, fuel equipment and bearings across the A-series range.
The AX-series carries the Akasaka platform forward for newer tonnage. We supply combustion and running-gear spares for the AX30 and AX34, genuine and reconditioned.
The AH30 serves both auxiliary and propulsion duty on Japanese-built vessels. Cylinder heads, pistons, liners, valves and fuel equipment, genuine and reconditioned.
The DM-series powers gensets and smaller main engines on coastal and cargo fleets. We carry running-gear and combustion spares for the DM28, DM30 and DM-28.
Many older Akasaka engines on Japanese-built ships are no longer supported by distributors — which is exactly why fleets struggle to find parts. Our strongest Alang line.

GLOSSARY
WHERE WE DELIVER
We ship Akasaka parts from Alang / Bhavnagar to UAE, Dubai, Singapore, Greece, Turkey & worldwide in 24–48 hours.
Wattmare is a specialist Akasaka engine spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Akasaka marine diesel engine. Whether you run an A-series trunk-piston main engine, an AX-series unit, an AH30 or a DM-series genset, we hold the wear parts, injection equipment and running gear you need and dispatch them worldwide in 24–48 hours.
Akasaka Diesels (Akasaka Tekkosho) was founded in Japan in 1910 and has built medium-speed marine diesel engines for over a century. Its engines are fitted as main and auxiliary propulsion across Japanese-built bulk carriers, general cargo ships, coasters and fishing vessels. In practice the parts market spans four main families. The A-series (A31, A34, A37, A41) is the classic workhorse trunk-piston range. The AX-series (AX30, AX34) carries the platform forward for newer tonnage. The AH30 serves auxiliary and propulsion duty, and the DM-series (DM28, DM30) powers gensets and smaller main engines. We supply spares across all of them.
Akasaka medium-speed engines are valued for rugged simplicity and long service life — which is why so many remain in service decades after delivery. We carry cylinder liners, pistons, piston rings, cylinder heads, inlet and exhaust valves, fuel injection valves, fuel pumps, connecting rods and bearings for all of them, genuine and reconditioned.
For class-critical work, genuine Akasaka parts are the safe choice. For routine planned maintenance, OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts cut cost by 30–50%. And for emergency repairs or budget overhauls — especially on older A-series and DM-series engines — reconditioned parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, can save up to 70%. Every reconditioned part ships with an inspection report, dimensional measurements, photographs and a 30-day warranty.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including many Japanese-built ships still running Akasaka engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour Akasaka parts that are simply unavailable from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. If you are searching for hard-to-find legacy Akasaka spares, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider auxiliary engine spare parts category, or sister brands like Daihatsu and Yanmar.
