Wärtsilä and Maran Gas extend collaboration

The new agreement will run for another five years, ensuring controlled and predictable costs for Maran Gas’s fleet of 21 TFDE LNG carrier vessels which are all powered by Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines.

The agreement covers scheduled parts and maintenance work for the engines and turbochargers plus a package of solutions including operational support, dynamic maintenance planning and Wärtsilä’s Expert Insight digital predictive maintenance solution.

“Wärtsilä has efficiently and effectively planned and executed maintenance of these vessels’ engines over the past five years and have provided valuable operational support,” said Maria Angelicoussis, president, chief executive, Maran Gas.

Roger Holm, president marine power, Wärtsilä, added that the renewal is a strong endorsement of the added value that customers gained through Wärtsilä’s lifecyle agreements.

Within the agreement, both companies have reaffirmed their commitment to helping the marine industry decarbonise, something the companies feel can only be achieved through innovative sustainable solutions and technologies and collaborative partnership.
