NYK LNGC joins Wärtsilä’s maintenance platform.
The 13-year contract is designed to ensure maximum uptime and equipment reliability, with assured maintenance costs, for an LNGC fitted with three Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines.
This agreement covers maintenance and planning support. It includes Expert Insight, which enables dynamic, data-driven maintenance planning, optimising maintenance needs and monitoring equipment and systems in real-time through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced diagnostics.
Real-time monitoring allows Wärtsilä Expertise Centres experts to provide customers with proactive support. By providing advice and suggestions for resolving potential operational disruption, this greatly reduces the need for unplanned servicing.
As a result, the vessel’s uptime and availability are notably increased, Wärtsilä claimed.
“Our lifecycle customer support approach, as emphasised by these agreements, is a value-adding benefit that works to lower operating costs, reduce fuel consumption and support the customers in their de-carbonisation journey. We have enjoyed a long and close relationship with NYK group and this agreement further strengthens the co-operation between our companies,” said Henrik Wilhelms, Director, Agreement Sales, Wärtsilä Marine Power.
