NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, UK – Royston has completed the overhaul of two diesel power plants onboard Global Marine Group’s subsea cable installation and maintenance vessel CS Sovereign.
Five engineers completed the 24,000 running hours service work on a Stork-Wärtsilä 12SW280 engine and a Stork-Wärtsilä 16SW280 unit onboard the 130-m (427-ft) long DP-2 vessel while it was in dock at Schiedam, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
According to Royston, this involved the overhaul of the crankshaft vibration damper on the main engine generator DG.1 before refitting with new gaskets. Main engine works on the two other generators (DG.2 and DG.3) saw the similar overhaul of crankshaft vibration dampers alongside checks and repairs to cylinder heads, liners, bearings, connecting rods and pistons. On completion of engine work, full sea trials were undertaken.
Oliver Stock, dry docking superintendent at Global Marine Group, said: “As a global operator, we not only require efficiency gains but also rapid and effective engine service solutions. Royston’s experience, expertise and streamlined operation is a huge advantage for a customer like us looking for notable improvements and fast turnaround times.”
