According to Wärtsilä, the newly signed deal offers its Dynamic Maintenance Planning (DMP), which seeks to provide engine maintenance in accordance with actual needs, enabling optimal availability and nominal disruption risk.

Wärtsilä’s Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) will help optimise the availability, reliability and performance of its engines on NCLH vessels through the diagnostics of key parameters and on-time decision support.

NCLH crews will also receive training from Wärtsilä to maintain the vessels’ engines and facilitate coordination between Wärtsilä’s technical team and NCLH.
