ABB and Wärtsilä have signed an agreement to expand their cooperation in lifecycle service offerings.
ABB and Wärtsilä have signed a comprehensive, 6-year service agreement covering standard maintenance and performance optimisation of ABB turbochargers installed with Wärtsilä 4-stroke engines. The new agreement is an evolution of the long-term cooperation in the field in force since 2005.
ABB has the largest turbocharger population in the Wärtsilä installed base with 27,000 ABB turbochargers on Wärtsilä 4-stroke engines.
Engine Performance
The goal of the cooperation is to enhance engine performance optimisation over the lifecycle. Additionally, continuous development of turbocharger upgrade packages and future digital offerings are to lead to improvements in fuel efficiency, uptime, and operational costs. The cooperation is also to further increase the depth and breadth of the maintenance offering, providing higher availability and agility.
The agreement will result in 25 authorised Wärtsilä turbocharger workshops with an expanded service and maintenance offering. This is in addition to the 110 existing ABB Turbocharging Service Stations around the globe.
