Real-time data analytics enhance propulsion reliability for TMS Cardiff Gas

Wärtsilä’s said its dynamic maintenance and planning service on gas carriers Al Thurayya and Al Majhoulah would enable TMS Cardiff Gas to benefit from “flexible maintenance scheduling, extended maintenance intervals and reduced spare parts consumption.”

Its agreement includes 24/7 remote operational support, contract management services and Wärtsilä’s predictive maintenance solution that uses real-time operational data to identify potential issues before problems arise.

“There is increasing global demand for LNG, and carrier operators place a high value on reliability,” said TMS Cardiff Gas deputy chief operating officer Alexandros Politis-Kalenteris.

“The existing agreement covering other vessels in our fleet has delivered a successful combination of technology, high-quality spare parts support and expert services, helping us maintain reliable and efficient operations,” he said.

“Extending this collaboration to these two newbuild vessels supports our goal of maximising availability and operational performance across the fleet.”

TMS Cardiff Gas also uses Wärtsilä’s fleet optimisation solution, FOS. across its fleet for voyage planning, performance analytics, compliance management and real-time operational insights.

“As vessel operations become increasingly complex, operators are looking for greater predictability, efficiency and support throughout the asset lifecycle,” said Wärtsilä Marine director for service agreements, Henrik Wilhelms.

“By combining advanced digital capabilities, predictive maintenance and expert lifecycle services, we help operators maximise asset performance, reduce operational risk and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving operating environment.”
