Wärtsilä partners with NYK Shipmanagement on digital solutions

The technology group Wärtsilä has signed a long-term Optimised Maintenance Agreement with NYK Shipmanagement (NYKSM) for optimised uptime, equipment reliability and assured maintenance costs, for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier vessel featuring three Wärtsilä 50 dual-fuel (DF) engines.

The 13-year contract signed in November 2021 covers maintenance and planning support.

Particularly, the agreement includes Expert Insight, which enables data-driven maintenance planning, optimising maintenance needs and monitoring equipment and systems in real-time through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced diagnostics.

Real-time monitoring is projected to allow specialists at Wärtsilä Expertise Centres to provide customers with proactive advice and suggestions for resolving potential operational disturbances.

The support is therefore expected to reduce the need for unplanned servicing and, hence, the vessel’s uptime and availability are anticipated to notably increase.

Referring to NYK group, Henrik Wilhelms, director of the agreement sales department at Wärtsilä Marine Power, stated, “Our lifecycle customer support approach, as emphasised by these agreements, is a value-adding benefit that works to lower operating costs, reduce fuel consumption, and support the customer in their decarbonisation journey.”
