Wärtsilä and WinGD have recently signed a new long-term service agreement that reflects their joint commitment to supporting ship owners and operators worldwide. This agreement builds on collaborations that began in 2015, allowing Wärtsilä to continue as a reputable global service provider for the two-stroke engines of WinGD, Wärtsilä, and Sulzer brands.
Benefits of the Agreement for Customers
Customers around the world will benefit from greater flexibility and choice in service delivery, as both WinGD and Wärtsilä provide global capabilities and support to assist ship owners and operators. These services enable them to maximize their operational uptime, optimize maintenance planning, and prepare their fleets for future fuels and carbon reduction needs.
Executive Comments
Dominik Schneiter, CEO of WinGD, stated: "Our commitment to customers is reliable and responsive support throughout the entire lifecycle of their engines; anytime and anywhere." He also added that this new agreement with Wärtsilä helps enhance WinGD's global service offering and ensures that global support is continuously available.
Roger Holm, President of Wärtsilä Marine and Executive Vice President of Wärtsilä Corporation, also commented: "This agreement continues a long-term service relationship that has supported the WinGD installed base for over a decade." He emphasized that this agreement enables ship owners and operators to access Wärtsilä's global service network and technical expertise.
WinGD was established in 2015 when Wärtsilä sold its two-stroke engine division to China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). The company continues to serve its customers as a technology leader and OEM, providing service and licensing for all two-stroke engines under the WinGD, Wärtsilä, and Sulzer brands.
The new service agreement represents a long-term relationship between the two companies and assures customers that authorized and specialized support will be available throughout the operational life of their engines.
