ECMS Helped Customer to Extend Major Overhaul And Saved $100,000 Without any Risk with Real-Time Monitoring

Marine

Engine Condition Monitoring System

Niigata Diesel Engines

This vessel was due for a major overhaul as per OEM’s maintenance cycle at 24,000 running hours which would have cost the customer above $100,000
The life-cycle of this vessel is around 20 years, approximately 65,000 running hours, meaning 2 MOH have to be performed for this vessel before it’s scrapped. This results in huge expenditure for the customer on overhauls
The customer has a target of keeping the vessel uptime above 98%

After the 1st health checkup, there were some concerning areas on the injection front. We proposed customers do continuous engine monitoring so that they have real-time engine condition data and without any risk, they can extend the overhaul with the replacement of 2 injectors costing just $5,000
The customer’s onboard team, as well as their office team, can view the engine condition on a real-time basis and have full control over their engines
With the real-time engine condition monitoring we propose to do only bare minimum scope required (In this case injectors) based on the real-time engine condition monitoring and push the MOH further and still retain the reliability of the engine

Customer is able to see real-time engine condition, cylinder-specific and take a data-backed decision
With the extension of the major overhaul, the customer is able to eliminate the whole 2nd MOH in the life-cycle of this vessel
