Wartsila, the marine industry’s leading solutions and services provider, expands its offering in propulsion monitoring services. Wartsila Propulsion Condition Monitoring Service (PCMS) that was introduced to the market in 2010 will expand its functionalities and will now be available in two editions – PCMS Starter and PCMS Professional. The need for certainty of operations and long-term maintenance planning is fulfilled with a new functionality – Dynamic Lifetime Prognosis (DLP). Wartsila Propulsion Condition Monitoring Service is a solution for monitoring propulsion equipment. It provides the customer with real-time advice and periodic reports concerning the condition of the machinery and information for maintenance planning. With PCMS customers can enhance their installations availability, reliability and profitability, whilst reducing risks and the maintenance costs of their assets.

Wartsila is committed in delivering innovative, trustworthy, and state-of-the-art monitoring services. Currently, Wartsila is recognized as a condition monitoring service supplier by three of the major classification societies, namely the American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd’s Register, and DNV-GL. In February 2014, Wartsila was the first company to attain this type of recognition from three of the major classification societies. “Since its introduction in 2010, we have installed more than 200 PCMS systems. We have now carefully analysed our customers’ needs, changing business environment and classification requirements that have evolved over time. Based on all this information, we have developed the versions to meet the different customer needs,” says Frank Velthuis, Manager of Wartsila’s CBM Centre Propulsion.

Professional and Starter editions
Wartsila’s new PCMS is available in Professional and Starter editions. Both versions enable overhaul intervals to be extended and promote optimal condition of the equipment.

The Professional edition also provides long-term predictability in maintenance planning and is superior in terms of detecting potential failures. Thus it’s especially recommended for vessels with a high criticality of operations. Typical applications include drilling, cable-laying, heavy lifting and seismic research operations. The Starter edition is tailored for customers with prime focus on reliability and reduction of operational costs. Typical applications for this edition include offshore supply, anchor handling, towing and diving support.
