Accelleron has renewed its service agreement with the world’s biggest engine builder - HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Engine & Machinery Division (HHI-EMD) and its lifecycle service company - HD Hyundai Marine Solution (HMS).
The agreement, continuing a collaboration that started in 2024, will ensure that owners of engines built by HHI-EMD and vessels or power plants serviced by HMS can benefit from Accelleron’s turbocharger service expertise, spare parts, lifecycle upgrades, and efficiency solutions.
Engine and design efficiency
As part of the cooperation, Accelleron will assure delivery of spare parts and expert service for all its turbochargers installed on HIMSEN four-stroke engines and two-stroke engines built under licence by HHI-EMD.
Vessels serviced by HMS will also have access to eco-friendly upgrades including Engine Part-Load Optimisation (EPLO), which can significantly improve engine efficiency and emissions on vessels operating at lower engine loads to comply with design efficiency and carbon intensity requirements.
One-stop service company
The two companies are also engaged in digital cooperation, sharing data to support customers
By providing a long-term maintenance offering, Accelleron supports HMS in its role as a one-stop service company providing customers with a lifetime service covering engines and turbochargers.
The two companies are also engaged in digital cooperation, sharing data that enables both Accelleron and HD Hyundai to support customers in increasing engine efficiency and reducing operational costs and emissions.
Lifecycle services
HHI-EMD has a 35% share of the marine diesel and multi-fuel engine market. More than 15,000 HiMSEN four-stroke engines installed on vessels to date.
The company also has a commanding share of the two-stroke engine market, building engines under licence from engine designers for installation on ships primarily built at HD Hyundai shipyards. HMS offers lifecycle services to all vessels built by HD Hyundai, which is the world’s largest shipbuilder.
