Wärtsilä continues to ensure the safety and reliability of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings' ships
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 8 June 2017 at 10.30 am EET
The technology group Wärtsilä and US-based cruise operator Norwegian Cruise Line
Holdings (NCLH) have signed a renewal of their existing performance-based
service agreement. Joint continuous improvement efforts ensure that the engines
on board of 10 NCLH cruise ships run at optimum performance levels. Wärtsilä
supplies NCLH with maintenance service, carried out together by the two
companies to secure the safety, engine reliability and performance of the
vessels.
The renewed service agreement, signed in May 2017, and relevant to the
maintenance of 45 Wärtsilä engines installed on NCLH vessels is tailored to the
needs and expectations of NCLH's global operations. The contract extends from
scheduled maintenance and spare parts to training programmes and from annual
audits to monthly key performance indicator reviews, which measure the
performance of Wärtsilä against the jointly set targets.
Guaranteed operational reliability of NCLH's fleet
The contract provides Wärtsilä's Dynamic Maintenance Planning (DMP), so that
engine maintenance can be carried out according to actual needs, enabling
optimal availability and minimal risk of disruptions. Condition Based
Maintenance (CBM) optimises the availability, reliability and performance of
Wärtsilä engines on NCLH vessels through the diagnostics of key parameters and
on-time decision support.
The contract is part of Wärtsilä's digital portfolio and covers a broad scope of
services, including maintenance planning, periodic technical surveys, dedicated
technical support and expertise for major overhauls, spare parts supply and
workshop services. In addition, Wärtsilä offers NCLH performance guarantees,
such as Response Time Guarantee and Quality Guarantee, which ensure that the
contractual performance targets are met. The agreement spans over two years,
with a renewal option for three additional years.
Wärtsilä continues to provide training to the NCLH crew. The training ensures
that the vessels' engines are maintained to the highest standards, and the crew
is able to work in full coordination with Wärtsilä's technical team. Overall,
the partnership is focused on safe operation of the vessels.
"We are pleased to renew our partnership with Wärtsilä, after working together
productively for the past five years. Wärtsilä's expertise in engine maintenance
and performance gives us peace of mind, increases the safety of cruise travel
and improves the satisfaction of our customers," says Robin Lindsay, Executive
Vice President, Vessel Operations, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
"We are happy to continue the improvement of operational reliability and
availability of NCLH vessels. Our shared commitment to ship efficiency, highest
maintenance standards and safety of the ships enables Wärtsilä to fulfil the
needs and expectations of NCLH," says Walter Reggente, Vice President, Wärtsilä
Services, Americas.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is the parent company of Norwegian Cruise Line,
Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
