Who is GEA
GEA, of Germany, is one of the world’s leading makers of gasketed plate heat exchangers — the NT and VT plate units used as central coolers, fuel and lube-oil heaters and freshwater coolers across the world fleet.
A single fleet can run the GEA NT series (NT50 to NT350), the compact VT range, or the larger NT500 — and Wattmare supplies genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned spares (plates, gaskets, frame and pressure plates, tightening bolts and connections) across every GEA heat exchanger.

The complete guide
Wattmare is a specialist GEA heat exchanger 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 GEA plate-type marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
The heat exchangers on this page are built by GEA of Germany, a heat-transfer specialist. Its NT and VT gasketed plate units serve as central coolers, oil heaters and freshwater coolers across the world fleet. We supply plates, gaskets and spares for all of them.
The single most important question on any GEA order is whether the engine is an NT-series, an VT-series or an VT-series. The GEA NT-series is guide bar-controlled — connection set, control cam, gear drive and mechanical sealing gear. The VT-series / VT-series and the GEA VT-series are electronically controlled, replacing the guide bar with a high-efficiency supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated pressure plates. Liners, covers, seals and bearings are broadly common by plate, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact NT-series / VT-series / VT-series designation.
For every GEA NT and VT plate heat exchanger we stock heat-exchanger plates, NBR and EPDM plate gaskets, frame plates, pressure plates, tightening bolts, carrying and guide bars, connections and complete re-gasket service kits — genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing GEA NT-series plate-type engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find NT-series connection sets, gear drives, plates or plate pack, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.
Send your GEA engine make and model with a photo or part number on WhatsApp, or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price — usually within the hour — and dispatch in-stock items within 24 hours. Typical air-freight transit is 12–18 hours to the UAE, 16–24 to Singapore, 20–26 to Greece and Turkey, and 28–36 to Northern Europe.
FAQ
Yes — heat-exchanger plates are one of our strongest GEA lines. We carry original-plate and reconditioned plates for the NT-series and NT-series, plus the rest of the NT-series range (NT-series range), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy NT-series plates are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.
The GEA NT-series is a guide bar-controlled (mechanical) plate-type — connection set, control cam and mechanical sealing actuation. The VT-series / VT-series and the GEA VT-series are electronically controlled, replacing the guide bar with a high-efficiency supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated pressure plates. Liners, seals and bearings are broadly similar by plate, but the sealing actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact NT-series, VT-series or VT-series model.
We cover the full GEA heat-exchanger range — the NT series (NT50, NT100, NT150, NT250, NT350), the compact VT range and the larger NT500 — every GEA plate heat exchanger.
Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine GEA parts carry full material and test certificates.
In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.
Yes — plate gaskets, injector nozzles, high-pressure connection sets, plungers and barrels for GEA NT-series engines, plus high-efficiency supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and control equipment for VT-series / VT-series and VT-series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.
Genuine parts come from the original maker (GEA / GEA) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.
Yes — obsolete GEA NT-series parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour connection sets, gear drives, plates, seals and plate pack from NT-series-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the NT-series range and NT-series engines this is often the fastest source in the world.
Yes — heat-exchanger plates, NBR/EPDM gaskets, frame and pressure plates, tightening bolts, connections and complete re-gasket service kits for the GEA NT and VT series, genuine and Alang-reconditioned.
