📋 Tender Overview
Technology group Wartsila has signed a 15-year covering three LNG carriers for China LNG Shipping (International) Co. Ltd. (CLSICO). The agreement is designed to ensure operational reliability enable flexibility in maintenance scheduling and optimise the time between overhauls (TBO) for each of the vessels. The agreement which came into effect in August 2025 was booked by Wartsila in Q3 2025.
LNG consumption and demand is increasing solidifying its role as a leading environmentally friendly energy source. Therefore LNG carriers are under greater pressure to deliver on tight schedules. Due to this increased demand and need for timely deliveries operational reliability has become more critical than ever for LNG carriers.
With the LNG ship transportation industry chain entering a period of rapid development we are committed to operating our LNG ships safely reliably and efficiently. Wartsilas Lifecycle Agreements play an important role here ensuring we continue to optimise the operations and maintenance of our vessels more effectively says Andrew Johnston General Manager CLSICO.
CLSICO aims to achieve optimal cost efficiency and operational reliability for its auxiliary engines. Through the new Lifecycle Agreement with Wartsila CLSICO will be able to utilise engine data through Wartsilas unique predictive maintenance solution. The digital solution offers to optimise maintenance costs while its connectivity enables 24/7 remote support for quicker issue resolution and improved asset availability. Whats more Expert Insight can predict potential problems before they occur helping operators lower unscheduled maintenance costs.
In todays complex marine market leveraging service agreements digital tools and real-time data and analytics can maximise the lifecycle uptime and OPEX of a vessel - helping fleets to run optimally stay competitive and comply with current and future decarbonisation targets comments Henrik Wilhelms Director Agreement Sales Wartsila Marine.
