Condition monitoring partnership

Condition monitoring increases the availability and reliability of machinery while managing the risk of breakdowns by determining equipment condition to predict failure. Maritime organisations that use condition monitoring can experience less downtime, greater cost effectiveness of spare parts and reduced overtime for responding to emergency breakdowns. FNT is a class approved provider of condition monitoring services in the maritime industry worldwide.

Xenofon Nikolakopoulos, managing director of FNT at Sea Services said that he believes condition monitoring to be the key element for any maintenance strategy in the future. “Condition monitoring provides the tools for more cost effective and efficient asset management,” he said.

Joel Meltzner, chief executive of i4 Insight, a Lloyd’s Register company, said, “Partnership is an integral component of our success, and that is why we created the ‘i4 Alliance’, which comprises leading maritime industry partners across the globe.”

“The ability to help maritime organisations better predict vessel reliability and prevent breakdowns is one more step toward our mission of ensuring a more sustainable shipping industry. Our goal is to provide an integrated set of products and services that help companies drive increased efficiency into their operations,” he added.
