Wartsila has expanded its partnership with Van Oord with the signing of a 9-year renewal and extension to its Optimized Maintenance agreement.
The contract covers the Wartsila engines installed on the cutter suction dredger ‘Athena’ and was signed in January 2021.
The new agreement also expands on the original by adding Wartsila’s Expert Insight and Data Driven Maintenance solutions. It also enables the addition of technologies and maintenance procedures delivering better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Expert Insight is an innovative solution that takes predictive maintenance to a higher level than previously possible. The service leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced diagnostics to monitor equipment and systems in real-time, spot anomalies, foresee potential problems, and enable rapid reaction accordingly.
