Stena Line extends its trust in MacGregor's planned maintenance agreements for 39 ferries
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 14 DECEMBER 2016 AT 10 AM EET
Swedish ferry operator Stena Line has renewed its planned maintenance agreement
with MacGregor, part of Cargotec. Stena Line has held MacGregor Onboard Care
(MOC) agreements since 2008 and its latest contract takes the number of RoRo
vessels covered to 39.
"Our preventative and planned service products, such as MOCs, make it easier to
schedule services; they guarantee that parts are in place and they are very
cost-effective for the customer. They take a lot of the stress out of managing
the huge service requirements for large fleets," says John Carnall Senior Vice
President, Global Lifecycle Support, MacGregor.
"The number of vessels covered by the contract requires MacGregor to coordinate
complex resource requirements in several countries. There are few companies as
well-placed as MacGregor to deliver this demanding level of service commitment."
Stena's renewed MOC agreements ensure that key equipment - from MacGregor and a
range of other manufacturers - on board the vessels is maintained in good order
at the optimum time, minimising the risk of downtime. Remedial measures can be
used to rectify a problem with minimal impact on availability. The agreement
covers annual inspections, condition surveys, spare parts stock inventories and
basic equipment adjustments.
"Over the years, Stena has steadily increased the number of vessels covered by
the contract from 20 to 39 vessels," says Magnus Göransson, MacGregor Branch
Manager for Denmark and Sweden. "This is testament to the long-standing trust
that has developed between MacGregor and Stena Line and in MacGregor's ability
to deliver technical support, services and spare parts whenever and wherever
they are needed."
The contract covers ferries serving operations for Stena Line Scandinavia AB,
Stena Line BV and Northern Marine Ferries Ltd; sailing on 22 routes in the
Baltic Sea, North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
Each MOC agreement is tailored to meet the needs of individual operators.
MacGregor is in the process of developing a new service agreement concept that
will simplify service commitments for customers even further. It will be
available early next year.
