Marlink’s subsidiary Telemar has signed a maintenance and service agreement for eight bulk carriers operated by MINSHIP Shipmanagement.
Under this agreement, Telemar will provide global service coordination for German shipping company MINSHIP. The deal includes the provision of the latest Telemar World Service (TWS), a web-based tool for managing scheduled and predictive service appointments for the entire MINSHIP fleet, which is expected to increase the visibility on service intervals and optimise vessel availability.
In addition, by using a planned maintenance strategy, MINSHIP will have the ability to create better predictability in its vessel operations. The equipment included in the contract supports both navigational safety and efficient shipping, while higher uptime means performance data can be shared on a close to real-time basis.
“MINSHIP prides itself on being a transparent and co-operative service provider; our commitment to responding individually to customer wishes requires a fleet designed for highly reliable operations,” commented Markus Hiltl, managing director of MINSHIP.
Meanwhile, the two companies have also signed a shore-based maintenance contract including annual radio survey, exchange and check of EPIRB and SART, VDR APT and CoC, annual gyro compass and radar overhaul and exchange of X- and S-band radar magnetrons.
