HELSINKI, Finland — Wärtsilä has signed a five-year renewal of its maintenance agreement with Höegh LNG Fleet Management (HLNG).
This includes delivery of spare parts and field maintenance services and provision of Wärtsilä’s latest digital solutions such as Expert Insight predictive maintenance, remote operational support, data-driven dynamic maintenance planning, and fluids management.
The agreement covers maintenance on the Wärtsilä 50 dual-fuel engines installed on 10 vessels, nine of which operate as FSRUs. One of these, Höegh Esperanza, is supplying gas to the new LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
Also included in the arrangement is a new collaboration app said to simplify communication between HLNG’s technical crew and Wärtsilä specialists, and managing all reporting requirements.
Expert Insight and the remote support services are said to allow issues to be resolved without the need for a service engineer on site.
“These services also lessen the environmental footprint and address concerns regarding cybersecurity,” said Henrik Wilhelms, director of agreement sales with Wärtsilä.
