May 15, 2013 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, signed a long-term Preventive Service agreement with China LNG Shipping International Co. Ltd (CLSICO) to provide maintenance services to all ABB equipment onboard of its six LNG vessels in the next five years. The contract commenced January 1, 2013.

5月15日消息——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB与中国液化天然气运输国际有限公司(CLSICO)签署了一份长期的预防性服务协议，在未来5年为CLSICO的6艘LNG运输船配备的所有ABB设备提供维护服务。该协议于2013年1月1日生效。

The new service agreement will help CLSICO with optimized vessels performance at a predicted minimum level of budget. ABB will provide annual site survey and on-call services to the six vessels covered by the agreement, as well as dry dock service every 2.5 years. The scope of the agreement covers preventive maintenance on onboard, power generation plant and mechanical and electrical system.

这份新的服务协议将帮助CLSICO以最小的预算优化船舶性能。根据协议，ABB将每年都为这6艘船舶提供现场勘测和应邀服务，每两年半进行一次干船坞服务。ABB的服务范围涵盖了船上发电设备和机械电力系统的预防性维护。

“ABB’s modular service agreement concept allowed us to tailor make the service package that best suits CLSICO’s fleet management model. With a thorough five years maintenance plan, CLSICO will be able to achieve ambitious cost saving targets”, says Heikki Soljama, Head of Marine and Cranes business at ABB. “Additionally, the framework ensures effective communication and transparency between CLSICO management and ABB, which in turns strengthens the co-operation between both parties and streamlines key processes”.

ABB海洋和起重机业务负责人Heikki Soljama表示：“ABB的模块化服务协议概念允许我们定制最适合CLSICO船队管理模式的服务包。通过这一非常全面的5年维护计划，CLSICO就能实现节省成本的雄伟目标。此外，这一框架协议确保了CLSICO管理层和ABB之间的有效沟通和透明度，轮流加强双方之间的合作，并简化关键流程。”

“One of our key priorities is to maximize fleet availability whilst keeping our costs as predictable as possible” says Sandy Farquhar, Fleet Manager for CLSICO.

CLSICO船队经理Sandy Farquhar表示：“在保持成本尽可能可预测的同时，最大限度地提高船队的可用性，这是我们优先考虑的事项之一。”
