Machinery Repairs Teekay to deploy ABB Turbocharging’s diagnostics software Teekay Marine is deploying ABB Turbocharging’s engine diagnostics software to deliver deeper insights at fleet level. Teekay will roll out Tekomar XPERT for fleet, including the software’s new CO2 emissions indicator, across 54 Suezmax and Aframax tankers. The company, which has used Tekomar XPERT to monitor its vessels engines since 2015, will now be able to access deeper insights into fleet-wide engine health and performance as well as at-a-glance CO2 emissions data. While Tekomar XPERT monitors the engines on an individual vessel to deliver diagnostics and advisory, Tekomar XPERT for fleet includes a management tool which enables benchmarking across the fleet, highlighting further opportunities for optimising engine operations. The company will be able to access data, including fleet-wide engine health and annual CO2 emission savings potential, through the Tekomar Fleet Portal. Information will also be integrated into Teekay’s Vessel Balanced Scorecard, a proprietary tool that collects data generated by operations systems into a daily digital dashboard for each vessel. “By proactive diagnostics and maintaining optimum engine performance across the fleet Tekomar XPERT not only enhances reliability and voyage performances but also assists meeting our emission targets. We thank ABB for developing such a pragmatic and user-friendly solution,” said Manoharan Jeganathan, Vessel Manager, Teekay Marine. “Advancing Tekomar XPERT from vessel to Tekomar XPERT for fleet will take Teekay’s opportunities for engine optimisation to the next level,” said Mauro De Micheli, Head of Sales, Marketing and Partnerships, ABB Turbocharging.

has been involved in the scheduled repair of the two 140,000 m3 LNG tankers – the Arctic Discoverer (March) and Arctic Voyager (May), while the ships were in Spain’s Navantia Repairs – Ferrol Estuary Shipyard. Both ships are technically managed out of London by K Line LNG (UK) Ltd. P&S was involved in servicing the engine room control and monitoring systems as well as the installation of an upgraded control system for the N2 Generator. A team of four technicians from P&S was on-site during each repair operation. Also during March this year, P&S was involved in the repair of Hansen Aggregates Marine’s 2,739 m3 TSHD Arco Beck, while she was in drydock in Turks Shipyard, Chatham, on the River Medway. Work on this ship involved the supply and installation of their clutch control panel, which replaces the original wholly pneumatic systems with a much more reliable combination of Power Pneumatics, solenoid valves, electrical relays and timers. Another recent client has been UK’s Gard Line, involving the supply a new DP alert system,
