Not sure about you, but to me, there is never enough time in the day, and speaking to other engineers, it seems like I’m not alone.
With a constant drive of more for less, there seems to be an ever-increasing demand, trying to cover more ground, without the resources to serve it all.
And whilst it is understandable that operators are looking to reduce costs, the extra responsibilities and stress can easily increase the risk of major problems.
This is evident with a Technical Superintendent we are working with at the moment, who’s charged with looking after several old vessels.
There are constant calls, and these are all about dealing with problems.
Constantly reacting.
Over the past few years, we’ve grown in our understanding of these sorts of pressures, which is why we are focused on being more proactive in our support.
To us, it’s not just about repairing and fixing but preventing.
If this means that we need to research, review, recommend or redesign, then that’s what we’ll do.
Would it help you if:
• A health check was carried out on your engines, so problems could be identified before they turn into forced downtime?
• A consistent problem was finally addressed so you can free up time to deal with more worthy issues?
• Maintenance schedules were reviewed against your actual operating conditions?
• You had an engine specialist partner who could deal with all ongoing problems for you?
