Technology group Wärtsilä and TMS Cardiff Gas have renewed their existing Lifecycle Agreement, covering the two-stroke main engines onboard seven LNG Carrier vessels, for a further five years.
The agreement is designed to ensure the vessels’ maximum operational reliability by enabling flexible maintenance scheduling and optimizing time between overhauls (TBO).
The seven vessels each operate with two WinGD 5X72DF dual-fuel two stroke engines and Wärtsilä gas valve units.
The scope of the agreement includes Wärtsilä’s Dynamic Maintenance Planning service, which will provide flexible maintenance scheduling with extended maintenance intervals and reduced spare parts consumption, 24/7 remote operational support, as well as contract management.
