Gas shipping company Anthony Veder has extended its turbocharger service agreement with Accelleron, securing Turbo LifecycleCare support across 13 vessels. The contract, covering 20 turbochargers on single-fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel four-stroke engines, builds on a service relationship that began in 2017 with four vessels.
Anthony Veder operates a fleet of small-scale and mid-size gas carriers, including Coral Methane, the first multi-gas carrier to be converted into an LNG bunker vessel, as well as Coral Star and Coral Sticho, the first gas carriers to use LNG as a fuel without carrying it as cargo. The majority of its fleet deploys Accelleron turbochargers for its four-stroke engines.
Under the extended Turbo LifecycleCare agreement, all turbocharger maintenance will be planned and executed by Accelleron under a fixed fee based on actual running hours that includes spare parts purchasing and unexpected service costs.
Turbo LifecycleCare agreements are available to four-stroke engine users in marine and power generation. The agreements are focused on controlling operating expenditure through a fixed fee structure, and can be customized depending on user requirements, including service response time and uptime guarantees.
Headquartered in Switzerland, Accelleron is a global provider of turbocharging technologies and optimization solutions for 0.5 to 80+ MW engines. Accelleron has an installed base of approximately 180,000 turbochargers and a network of more than 100 service stations across 50 countries worldwide.
