New MacGregor service contracts offer customers guaranteed cost savings
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, TRADE PRESS RELEASE, 7 FEBRUARY 2017 AT 10 AM (EET)
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has launched new, simplified planned service
agreements that will save customers' money and reduce their maintenance
administration burden.
"Market conditions have changed a great deal since we launched our MacGregor
Onboard Care (MOC) planned maintenance concept in 2004," says John Carnall,
Senior Vice President, Global Lifecycle Support, MacGregor. "There is an
industry-wide shift towards new technologies and processes designed to increase
efficiency and drive down operational costs. Our latest planned service
arrangements have been developed to support these changes and provide simpler
and even more cost-effective cover.
"Efficient ongoing service is key to operational success and we make this
commitment with every equipment delivery," continues Mr Carnall. "The new
service agreements are an extension of this commitment. They provide significant
savings on spare parts pricing, fixed rates that make budgeting simple and
predictable, and we shoulder the burden of maintenance administration.
"We constantly review market conditions and how to do the best for our
customers. MOC has been a very successful venture; more than 1,800 vessels have
equipment covered by a traditional MOC contract," he notes. "These new
agreements build on customer feedback and our experience with MOC and will now
replace our current MOC portfolio."
Ville Hallisto, Manager of Service Agreements says that this development in
service provision will be able to support customers' equipment throughout its
entire lifecycle, but in a much improved way. "We have simplified our
documentation and clarified the cost-savings available to our customers."
The new service agreements, offered by the MacGregor Global Lifecycle Support,
provide three levels of cover; inspection only, inspection and maintenance, and
inspection, maintenance and repair.
Inspection agreement:
This provides a fixed-rate inspection schedule for between one and five years
and includes all labour and travel costs. Spare parts required during the
agreement will be supplied at a 10 percent discount. A full report including
safety and critical action analysis will be provided following each inspection
visit.
Standard agreement:
This includes a fixed-rate inspection and maintenance schedule for between one
and five years. All travel, labour and consumable costs needed to carry out a
fixed preventative maintenance programme are covered by this agreement. Spare
parts required during the agreement will be supplied at a 10 percent discount.
Crew training can also be included in the agreement. A full report including
safety and critical action analysis will be provided following each inspection
visit.
Comprehensive agreement:
This provides the highest level of cover. All costs of inspections, labour,
travel, maintenance and repair are included at a fixed rate within the agreement
period.
It includes all inspection and preventative maintenance schedules and the costs
of all labour and travel required to carry out any repairs to the equipment
covered by the agreement. Spare parts required during the agreement period will
be supplied at a 10 percent discount. The duration of a comprehensive agreement
is between three and five years.
All maintenance planning and service history, including past inspection reports,
are used by MacGregor to plan and evaluate necessary service tasks and the
condition of equipment.
