📋 Tender Overview
Technology group Wartsila has signed a five-year with Finland based Viking Line covering the ferry M/S Viking Glory. The vessel has been supported by an earlier Wartsila agreement since its launch in 2021 and this renewal further extends and expands the partnership and benefits provided by the agreement. This latest order was booked by Wartsila in Q1 2025.
The equipment covered by the agreement includes the ships engines six and two and supply systems. The agreement is designed to minimise unscheduled maintenance and ensure performance reliability while providing cost predictability for budgeting purposes.
We already have two ferries covered by Wartsila agreements and we have been extremely pleased with the service and support they deliver. The Viking Glory is one of the most environmentally sustainable vessels sailing today and by maintaining the equipment we ensure efficiency of its operations. The Wartsila agreement represents an important contribution to improve the reliability and this help us on our decarbonisation strategy says Mathias Sundberg Technical Manager - Viking Line.
The scope of the agreement includes maintenance planning operational support spare parts and services for the equipment covered and a one point of contact through the contract manager. It also includes digital predictive maintenance service. Delivered through Wartsilas global Expertise Centres Wartsilas Expert Insight leverages AI technology to identify potential failures before they occur thus helping to improve asset efficiency and reduce both operating costs and emissions.
We are delighted to renew and extend our collaboration and support for the Viking Glory and to continue our strong relationship with Viking Line. Both our companies are committed to decarbonising shipping operations and these agreements play an important role in this. By ensuring the highest levels of operational efficiency Viking Line can continue its great work in minimising the environmental impact of its operations comments Henrik Wilhelms Director Agreement Sales Wartsila Marine.
Both the Viking Grace and Viking Glory are supported by Wartsila Lifecycle Agreements. The Viking Grace was the first ferry to operate with dual-fuel engines enabling it to operate with LNG fuel. The Viking Glory operates with the highly efficient Wartsila 31DF dual-fuel engine which delivers the best fuel economy of any engine in its class. Both ferries operate between Finland and Sweden.
