(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 6 November 2014 at 13:30 pm EET
Wärtsilä, a leading global supplier of power plant and ship power solutions and
services, has renewed its Asset Management Agreement with Cemex Colombia, one of
the major cement companies in Colombia. The agreement was signed during summer
2014 and it is valid for five years. It is a continuation of an earlier Asset
Management Agreement which was signed 15 years ago already in 1998.
With this new agreement, Wärtsilä continues to operate and maintain the power
plant at Cemex Colombia's cement plant. The agreement covers, among others, day-
to-day operation of the power plant and the natural gas station (city gate),
preventive and predictive maintenance services, management of parts logistics
and technical support services. This agreement is a long-term operational
partnership with a common goal to ensure maximised lifetime, guaranteed
performance and predictable life cycle costs for the power plant.
"We have worked with Wärtsilä for 15 years already. During these years, Wärtsilä
has showed excellent performance in ensuring the reliability and availability of
our cement factory in Ibagué. Wärtsilä has also introduced innovative upgrades
which will further improve the performance and reliability of our power plant.
We are happy to continue our long-term partnership with them," says Jairo
Guerrero, Energy Director from Cemex Colombia.
"Cemex Colombia is one of the major cement companies and leading suppliers of
building materials in Colombia. By transferring the operative responsibility of
the power plant to Wärtsilä, the agreement continues to provide Cemex Colombia
with the highest possible level of risk management. It also offers them full
peace of mind and the possibility to focus on their core business," says Edison
Romero, General Manager, Contract Management from Wärtsilä Services.
Cemex Colombia's cement plant is powered by five Wärtsilä 34SG engines, with a
total capacity of 25 MW. The plant is located near Ibagué, a municipality in the
department of Tolima in Colombia.
