The company is also exploring various digital opportunities in order to provide shipowners with new and more effective service solutions, including services based on the surveillance of ships’ operations and equipment from on-shore control centres.

Rolls-Royce Marine Services director Knut Hovland said: “We have delivered equipment to around a quarter of the world’s registered fleet.

"The three-year service contract will see Rolls-Royce maintain and service all the equipment it has delivered to the two companies’ offshore vessels."

“As a result, we also have service assignments and long-term agreements with a large number of shipowners globally.

“We also have a network of service stations at 34 locations worldwide, so we can be close by whenever equipment needs servicing or repair.”

Rolls-Royce previously signed a ‘Power-by-the-Hour’ service agreement with Norwegian logistics and cargo company Nor Linesfor two vessels, Kvitbjørn and Kvitnos, in May.

The new service utilises ‘big data’ to monitor, plan and perform maintenance and repairs for all Rolls-Royce equipment currently installed on the two vessels.
