Rolls-Royce announced a joint three-year service agreement with Siem Offshore and Subsea 7, covering a total of 74 offshore vessels. Under the agreement, Rolls-Royce will maintain and service all of the equipment it has delivered to the two companies’ offshore vessels.
According to Knut Hovland, Rolls-Royce, Director, Marine Services, the company has delivered equipment to around a quarter of the world’s registered fleet.
The company is now exploring digital opportunities to provide ship owners with a growing range of new and more effective service solutions. These include new types of services based on surveillance of ships’ operations and equipment from control centres located on shore. Rolls-Royce recently signed its first “power-by-the-hour” agreement with the Norwegian logistics and cargo company Nor Lines.
“We are particularly pleased to sign new service agreements in these current times. We have obviously been affected by the fact that many vessels in the offshore market are still laid up, and it will be interesting to see what impact this will have on the service market going forward,” said Knut Hovland.
