Finland-based marine engine and technology specialist W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has signed agreements with the Japanese shipping group MMS to optimize maintenance and emissions for two MMS LNG carriers and maximize engine uptime.<\/p>\n
W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 said the agreements were designed to deliver maximized engine uptime and long-term cost predictability, optimizing maintenance for the highest efficiency, and lowest carbon footprint.<\/p>\n
The project includes W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s digital predictive maintenance solution, Expert Insight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Using artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced diagnostics, the service enables onboard equipment and systems to be monitored in real-time. Anomalies are flagged to specialists at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Expertise Centres, allowing them to support customers proactively with an appropriate resolution,” W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 said.<\/p>\n
“When we introduced Expert Insight we said that it would take predictive maintenance to the next level, and this has proven to be the case. It is a hugely beneficial service that forms the basis for better asset management decisions and increased operational efficiency. This lowers both operational cost as well as emissions,\u201d said Henrik Wilhelms<\/strong>, Director, Agreement Sales at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4.<\/p>\n The two vessels operate with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 50DF dual-fuel engines. In addition to Expert Insight\u2019s asset diagnostics and anomaly detection capabilities, under the terms of the agreements, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will also provide all spare parts, dynamic maintenance planning, remote operational support, field services, and workshop services, the company said.<\/p>\n These agreements, called by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 “Optimized Maintenance Agreements”, are described by the company as an integral element within W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s lifecycle support approach.<\/p>\n “As the global market for LNG has grown rapidly, customers in the segment have increasingly seen the value of remote support and long-term cooperation on maintenance. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has OMAs covering more than 260 LNG carriers,” the company said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finland-based marine engine and technology specialist W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has signed agreements with the Japanese shipping group MMS to optimize maintenance and emissions for two MMS LNG carriers and maximize engine uptime.
