Wärtsilä has signed a six-year Lifecycle Agreement with Malaysia-based Nautica Ship Management, covering two vessels, the MTT ‘Saisunee’ and ‘MTT Senari’.
The agreement is designed to ensure that the ships’ exhaust gas treatment systems operate at maximum efficiency. The vessels are feeder container vessels and are fitted with Wärtsilä hybrid scrubber systems.
Azreen Nor Bin Mohamad, Senior Technical Superintendent, Nautica Ship Management said: “It is central to our commitment to sustainable operations that the scrubber systems on these vessels are working with optimal efficiency. This enables the ships to comply with the relevant environmental regulations. We know Wärtsilä well, and our experience with their agreements on other vessels in our fleet has been excellent. It was natural, therefore, that we continue this relationship for these two vessels.”
The scope of the agreement includes remote access capabilities. This feature enables seamless monitoring and troubleshooting of the exhaust gas cleaning (EGC) systems installed on the two vessels, ensuring prompt response and minimal downtime.
David Xu, Wärtsilä Area Sales Manager Singapore said: “We are pleased to recognise Nautica’s professional approach to maintaining and future-proofing their fleet and are proud to support them with this agreement. We constantly upgrade and improve our solutions in line with the latest and best available technology. Our 24/7 service, and especially the remote access feature, gives us the opportunity to provide immediate support and troubleshooting for these vessels, while delivering important cost savings.”
Wärtsilä’s range of lifecycle agreements is intended to provide long-term cost predictability and availability by using data-driven technical support and maintenance at every step, from planning to execution. Ship operators can benefit from proactive support and recommendations from Wärtsilä Expertise Centres, helping to optimise maintenance intervals according to actual needs while preventing unexpected downtime.
Nautica Ship Management had previously signed lifecycle agreements for two other vessels, the MTT Samalaju and MTT Semporna.
