Accelleron Industries : signs 50th Turbo MarineCare agreement as ship operators favor fixed-cost service plan

Accelleron has marked a major milestone in its smartly enabled service offering for turbochargers on two-stroke marine engines, signing its fiftieth Turbo MarineCare contract. The long-term service agreement model delivers all-inclusive, fixed-price service with a continuous warranty between major overhauls, helping operators keep control of costs and ensure optimal turbocharger operations.

Turbo MarineCare was designed to give financial predictability and peace of mind to ship operators. As well as including the costs of the major overhaul-either at dry dock or in port where possible-the fixed price covers, throughout the contract duration, labor and standard as well as unexpected spare parts, always using original Accelleron parts and service experts.

Turbo MarineCare is a smartly enabled service that enables full visibility on equipment health, using an expert-in-the-loop digital solution. Through Accelleron's LOREKA portal, operational data already available on the vessel is analyzed to monitor turbocharger status and to provide operators with optimization and maintenance recommendations. This data also allows an Accelleron technician to remotely check on the status of a turbocharger, replacing the need to carry out an intermediate inspection.

The fiftieth contract signals a growing trend for ship operators to seek full-cover service agreements. One such customer is Laskaridis Maritime, which signed a Turbo MarineCare contract with Accelleron in October.
