Rolls-Royce lands five-year maintenance contract from Siem Offshore
The MIP covers twelve vessels, pictured are the Siem Garnet and Siem Ruby
Jon August Houge, Operations Manager, Siem Offshore, said: “We have had a long-term relationship with Rolls-Royce Marine as supplier of both propulsion and deck machinery. In our experience, a long-term deal like this provides both parties with predictability and, most importantly, ensures operational stability for our fleet.”
Under the agreement, Rolls-Royce will provide the Norwegian operator with a single point of contact for its fleet. For each vessel, a bespoke routine maintenance and inspection plan for all the Rolls-Royce deck machinery installed will be drawn up. This includes twelve low-pressure winch systems, shark jaws and towing pins, stern rollers, as well as 24 steering gears and rudders.
The MIP is the first to be supplied with a Rolls-Royce mobile app, allowing the crew to log inspections and tests, and communicate their findings to Rolls-Royce for evaluation. The MIP can be tailored for any type of deck machinery configuration.
