Capital Gas Ship Management has signed a five-year Lifecycle Agreement with Wärtsilä covering seven LNG carriers, which will see the vessels provided with remote support and optimised data-driven maintenance services.
The seven ships are powered by WinGD X-DF two-stroke, dual-fuel main engines and will benefit from a troubleshooting and maintenance set-up that will allow Wärtsilä experts to directly monitor the vessels’ systems and employ diagnostic tools to support the crew with rapid fault resolution.
The agreement is also expected to assist Capital Gas in minimising OPEX and lifecycle costs by enabling preventive interventions that can avoid the need for more expensive later repairs and on-site visits.
“The agreement’s combination of technology, high-quality spare parts delivery, and the expert support from Wärtsilä’s Expertise Centres, as well as its global network of workshops and qualified engineers will deliver the operational reliability and certainty that we need to maximise the uptime of these vessels,” said Miltos Zissis, Managing Director, Capital Gas Ship Management Corp.
