Accelleron welcomed the 100th customer for its running hours-based service agreement for four-stroke engine turbochargers, Turbo LifecycleCare in November 2023.
More than 2,000 turbochargers supporting main or auxiliary engines across maritime and land-based power generation applications are covered by the unique agreement structure, which was established in 2017 to deliver predictable maintenance costs and reduced risk for operators.
Turbo LifecycleCare agreement
Turbo LifecycleCare agreements offer foreseeable budgeting and cost-saving efficiency for operators of Accelleron turbochargers.
The agreements cover standard spare parts, wear and tear, and labour, with Accelleron reducing operators’ risk and administrative burden by assuming responsibility for maintenance planning and scheduling. All service is carried out by accredited Accelleron engineers using Accelleron spare parts, ensuring quality and speed of service.
Feedback on maintenance
What comes to my mind first about Turbo LifecyleCare is ‘no big surprises’ when budgeting for turbocharger"
As the landmark hundredth contract was signed, feedback from existing customers highlighted the value that operators derive from Turbo LifecycleCare coverage.
Pleiades Shipping Technical Director - Miltos Synefias, said, “What comes to my mind first about Turbo LifecyleCare is ‘no big surprises’ when budgeting for turbocharger maintenance and repair."
Turbochargers
Miltos Synefias adds, "Turbochargers are overhauled in an organised workshop environment and costs are evenly spread and are mostly predictable. I would like to say well done to Accelleron for inventing and embracing this idea and implementing it most professionally."
EGE Haina Power Plant Regional Director - Eddy Gomez, said, “We see great value from Turbo LifecycleCare because we are provided with the latest updates for equipment, along with outstanding service. On top of that, we have predictable costs based on how many hours we run every month.”
Reducing administrative work
Accelleron Head of Global Service Sales - Dirk Balthasar, said, “Turbo LifecycleCare was developed based on the needs of customers looking for a reliable partner who could support them in reducing administrative work related to turbocharger servicing as well as offering a fixed price based on operating hours that made it easy for them to project costs."
Dirk Balthasar adds, "This milestone shows that our customers find real value from this agreement and continue to trust in the service that only the OEM can provide.”
