Covering all offices of Wallem Group, the deal will allow access to a global and local key account manager from MAN PrimeServ, the after-sales division of MAN Energy.

MAN PrimeServ will manage the contract from Hong Kong in close collaboration with a network of more than 100 global PrimeServ hubs.

At present, Wallem operates a 200-plus fleet of vessels from its Hong Kong head office, along with ship-management hubs in Singapore, India, Cyprus and German city, Hamburg.

The agreement protects more than 580 units of MAN Energy Solutions’ equipment aboard the Wallem fleet, which includes tankers, containerships, bulk carriers and vehicle carriers.
