A Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö has been fitted with the Wärtsilä condition based monitoring system, which provides data to enable dynamic maintenance planning.
The Finnish shipping company has also extended the maintenance agreement held with Wärtsilä for its fleet of five vessels; the MS Birka Stockholm, ferries MS Finlandia and MS Eckerö, and RoRo vessels MV Exporter and MV Shipper.
Wärtsilä tailored its service and maintenance offering to help Eckerö optimise its fleet operations. In addition to service and maintenance work, Wärtsilä provides spare parts, shaft seals, services for the catalytic converters, dynamic maintenance planning (DMP) and condition based maintenance (CBM).
The Finnish power and propulsions heavyweight says that the aim with the dynamic maintenance planning solution is to extend maintenance intervals and reduce spare parts consumption. Maintenance operations are then planned based on expert analysis of the engine’s condition and the real-time data provided by the engines. DMP and CBM are part of the recently launched Wärtsilä Genius services, which optimise customers’ operations with innovative digital solutions.
