Wärtsilä inks Maintenance Deal With MSCL

Wärtsilä signed an 5-year optimized maintenance agreement with Marine Service Company Ltd (MSCL), a Saudi Arabian tug operator, significant as it is the first ever such agreement that Wärtsilä has signed with a marine operator in Saudi Arabia. 

MSCL operates four terminal escort tugs operating in the port of Rabigh, and the comprehensive maintenance planning is designed to streamline the vessels’ operations. 

In addition to systematic service activity planning, Wärtsilä will provide maintenance budgeting, major overhauls, tools, spare parts and technical expertise covering the ships’ engines and certain auxiliary equipment. Wärtsilä’s technical resources are available 24/7/365, technical audits are carried out bi-annually, and MSCL’s vessel crews receive extensive training on the onboard equipment.
