30-Day Niigata ZP-41 Overhaul on Offshore Support Vessel Completed in 16 Days, Saving $50K in LD Charges.

Marine

Overhauling of Niigata make ZP41 Z-peller assembly

Offshore service vessel with Niigata engine and Z-peller

Greatships Prachi, the offshore service vessel was to be deployed on a new offshore platform duty in 20 days
An overhauling of the Niigata make ZP41 Z-peller assembly was due for overhauling before new assignment
Standard time needed for overhaul was 30 days (or even more sometimes) which meant a possible delay in deployment that would have costed a huge LD payment to Greatships

Neptunus has been a preferred partner to Greatships for engine maintenance across their multiple vessels
Greatships team approached Neptunus and explained the challenge. The expectation was to complete the overhauling assignment on an expedited basis within the targeted time of 20 days
Neptunus quickly did the planning and mobilized the team with extra manpower to expedite the job
Neptunus’ back office team took care of the coordination with Greatships team and L&T Shipyard team (where the vessel was docked)
All necessary spare were readily made available from Neptunus’ stock inventory to save on time

Entire assignment was completed in 16 days, 25% faster than the challenging targeted completion date
Greatships could utilize the extra 4 days saved to complete other maintenance tasks and testing of vessel
The vessel could sail for the deployed task right on time
The planning, coordination and urgency shown by Neptunus helped Greatships save ~ $50,000 of LD charges
