Anglo-Eastern Signs Turbocharger Maintenance Deal
MAN PrimeServ Turbocharger, part of MAN Diesel & Turbo’s service division, has signed a Premium Turbocharger Maintenance Contract with Anglo-Eastern Ship Management.
Under the terms of the agreement, PrimeServ will provide all relevant services complete maintenance package. The deal covers approximately 330 turbochargers installed aboard vessels from the Anglo-Eastern’s worldwide fleet – essentially a mixture of NA/TCA axial types for main engines, and NR/TCR radial types for auxiliary engines.
A good fit between the global nature of Anglo-Eastern’s trading routes and PrimeServ’s global network of service centers was a key influence in negotiations, PrimeServ reports.
The new agreement represents the first time Anglo-Eastern has employed PrimeServ to handle its turbocharger service program. Accordingly, MAN PrimeServ Turbocharger – in coordination with the MAN PrimeServ network – will coordinate and plan all upcoming scheduled maintenance intervals for Anglo-Eastern’s turbochargers, including the timely delivery of necessary spare parts.
With a Premium Maintenance Contract, MAN Diesel & Turbo handles all scheduled maintenance planning for the customer six to seven months prior to an upcoming turbocharger service. The customer simply confirms the upcoming service by email. Such contracts entail several, other benefits, including timely spare-parts planning that enables higher price flexibility; MAN PrimeServ Turbocharger monitors and administrates upcoming maintenance intervals; fixed prices for turbocharger services and spare parts; turbocharger operational data constantly updated including the complete maintenance history; and open access to maintenance documentation, electronic spare-parts catalogues and service reports through PrimeServ’s customer intranet.
