ABB贏得中國液化天然氣運輸公司長期服務協議

May 15, 2013 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, signed a long-term Preventive Service agreement with China LNG Shipping International Co. Ltd (CLSICO) to provide maintenance services to all ABB equipment onboard of its six LNG vessels in the next five years. The contract commenced January 1, 2013.

5月15日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB與中國液化天然氣運輸國際有限公司(CLSICO)簽署了一份長期的預防性服務協議，在未來5年為CLSICO的6艘LNG運輸船配備的所有ABB設備提供維護服務。該協議于2013年1月1日生效。

The new service agreement will help CLSICO with optimized vessels performance at a predicted minimum level of budget. ABB will provide annual site survey and on-call services to the six vessels covered by the agreement, as well as dry dock service every 2.5 years. The scope of the agreement covers preventive maintenance on onboard, power generation plant and mechanical and electrical system.

這份新的服務協議將幫助CLSICO以最小的預算優化船舶性能。根據協議，ABB將每年都為這6艘船舶提供現場勘測和應邀服務，每兩年半進行一次干船塢服務。ABB的服務范圍涵蓋了船上發電設備和機械電力系統的預防性維護。

“ABB’s modular service agreement concept allowed us to tailor make the service package that best suits CLSICO’s fleet management model. With a thorough five years maintenance plan, CLSICO will be able to achieve ambitious cost saving targets”, says Heikki Soljama, Head of Marine and Cranes business at ABB. “Additionally, the framework ensures effective communication and transparency between CLSICO management and ABB, which in turns strengthens the co-operation between both parties and streamlines key processes”.

ABB海洋和起重機業務負責人Heikki Soljama表示：“ABB的模塊化服務協議概念允許我們定制最適合CLSICO船隊管理模式的服務包。通過這一非常全面的5年維護計劃，CLSICO就能實現節省成本的雄偉目標。此外，這一框架協議確保了CLSICO管理層和ABB之間的有效溝通和透明度，輪流加強雙方之間的合作，并簡化關鍵流程。”

“One of our key priorities is to maximize fleet availability whilst keeping our costs as predictable as possible” says Sandy Farquhar, Fleet Manager for CLSICO.

CLSICO船隊經理Sandy Farquhar表示：“在保持成本盡可能可預測的同時，最大限度地提高船隊的可用性，這是我們優先考慮的事項之一。”

Established in 2006 in Hong Kong, CLSICO provides ship-owners and charterers with safe, reliable and cost effective LNG ship management services.

CLSICO于2006年在香港成立，主要為船東和租船商提供安全、可靠和成本效率型LNG運輸船管理服務。
