Wärtsilä and TMS Cardiff Gas renewed their existing five‑year Lifecycle Agreement covering the 2‑stroke main engines of seven LNG carriers; the order was booked in Q3 2025.
Under the agreement, Wärtsilä will provide its Dynamic Maintenance Planning service, predictive maintenance via Expert Insight, remote 24/7 support, and flexible maintenance scheduling to maximise reliability and uptime.
Alexandros Politis‑Kalenteris, Deputy COO, TMS Cardiff Gas, stated: “In a competitive market, unplanned downtime is costly. The agreement’s combination of technology, high‑quality spare parts delivery and expert support means we can continue to strengthen the operational reliability of these vessels, ensuring we can meet rising global LNG demand and tight delivery schedules.”
Stefan Wiik, Vice President, Parts and Field Service, Wärtsilä Marine, stated: “Maximising uptime while ensuring safety, flexibility and reliability is critical for operators. Our advanced digital solutions and lifecycle support empower our customers to achieve operational excellence and maximise the availability of their assets.”
In September, Wärtsilä signed a 15-year lifecycle agreement with China LNG Shipping (International) Co. Ltd. (CLSICO), covering three LNG carriers.
That same month, Wärtsilä, signed a 10-year Lifecycle Agreement with Hong Kong-based OPearl LNG Ship Management covering a total of 14 LNG carrier vessels.
