(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 21 July 2016 at 10.30 am EET
Wärtsilä and Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö have extended their long-term maintenance
agreement for Eckerö's entire fleet of five vessels. Wärtsilä is providing
leading digital maintenance concepts to meet the customer's needs.
The five-year agreement between Wärtsilä and Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö covers
five vessels. One of the vessels has been fitted with the Wärtsilä Condition
based monitoring system, which provides data to enable dynamic maintenance
planning.
"We have very positive experiences of working with Wärtsilä and wanted to extend
our cooperation further. Wärtsilä was able to offer a customized service package
that met all our maintenance needs. Furthermore, these services increase cost
predictability and reduce risks. We consider Wärtsilä a trusted partner," says
Daniel Olsén, Technical Manager, Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö.
The Finnish shipping company Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö consists of four marine
companies: Birka Cruises AB, Eckerö Shipping Ab Ltd, Eckerö Line Ab Oy and
Eckerö Linjen Ab. The company is based in Åland and it owns and operates a
cruiser, ferries and cargo vessels on the Baltic Sea and North Sea. Its fleet
consists of cruiser MS Birka Stockholm, ferries MS Finlandia and MS Eckerö, and
RoRo vessels MV Exporter and MV Shipper.
Tailored solution to meet customer's needs
Wärtsilä tailored its service and maintenance offering to help Eckerö optimise
its fleet operations. In addition to service and maintenance work, Wärtsilä
provides spare parts, shaft seals, services for the catalytic converters,
dynamic maintenance planning (DMP) and condition based maintenance (CBM).
The aim with the dynamic maintenance planning solution is to extend maintenance
intervals and reduce spare parts consumption. Maintenance operations are then
planned based on expert analysis of the engine's condition and the real-time
data provided by the engines. DMP and CBM are part of the recently launched
Wärtsilä Genius services, which optimise customers' operations with innovative
digital solutions.
"We are happy to take our cooperation with Eckerö to a new level. We value their
trust highly. With these services, we are able to gain useful data and can help
Eckerö maintain and safeguard engine availability. Customized solutions or
service packages, such as this one, are Wärtsilä's way of ensuring that our
customers get exactly what they need in order to operate efficiently and
reliably," says Peter Guldbrand, General Manager Sales, Service Unit Baltic and
Black Sea, Wärtsilä.
