Athens-based ship management company TMS Cardiff Gas has recently signed a maintenance agreement with Wärtsilä that will ensure the maintenance predictability of the operation of four TFDE LNG Carriers in TMS Cardiff Gas’ fleet.

TMS Cardiff Gas’ fleet.

The maintenance agreement signed in December 2017, uses Wärtsilä unit Eniram’s data collection platform and advanced data analytics to help TMS Cardiff Gas to achieve optimal fleet operations, resulting in reduced fuel costs and emissions. The agreement expands on the earlier technical management deal between the two in 2014.

With the new agreement, the scope of Wärtsilä’s services include, among others, Eniram’s data collection platform and advanced data analytics that enables TMS Cardiff Gas to save costs and maximise overall profitability while cutting its emissions.

Wärtsilä’s Dynamic Maintenance planning, in combination with Eniram’s vessel digital performance management system, provides TMS Cardiff Gas with a comprehensive view of each vessel’s performance, efficiency, and improvement possibilities. Wärtsilä will provide all necessary spare parts for the maintenance of the vessels as well as field service resources for scheduled maintenance that has been planned according to the actual running hours of the engines.

“Our vision is to be one of the world’s leading LNG and LPG operators with the highest standards of excellence in terms of performance, reliability, and safety. The maintenance and upgrade service needs of the tri-fuel Main Generator Engines on our LNG Carriers are technically advanced and require detailed planning with a professional partner to ensure the engines’ reliable performance and the vessels’ operability. Through our five-year partnership with Wärtsilä and Eniram, we are confident that our fleet will continue to be our customers’ premium choice,” said TMS Cardiff Gas gm George Kourelis.
