Wärtsilä secures cruise wastewater deal
Wärtsilä has signed a four-year deal with Carnival to maintain and operate wastewater handling equipment on board some of its cruise ships.
The order with Wärtsilä’s Water and Waste arm will cover 13 Princess Line vessels, eight Holland America Line vessels, seven Seabourn Cruises vessels, and three P&O Australia vessels.
It is the largest contract of this type to date between the two companies and includes health check visits, service visits, spare parts, remote technical support, and contract management services for onboard systems only.
“We are very familiar with the services that Wärtsilä Water and Waste can provide, and with the value that they add to our business,” said Remco Buis, Carnival Corporation & plc senior vice president of maritime, port strategy and operations.
“This latest agreement strengthens our cooperation. Moreover, it will support Carnival Corporation as we continue to prioritise the efficiency and environmental sustainability of our operations.”
The agreement also provides maintenance cost predictability for the series of vessels covered.
“The maintenance support we offer ensures that the equipment and all components are operating at original design performance levels and that environmental compliance is assured. We focus on optimal system reliability, and maximising uptime,” said Chris Harding, services director at Wärtsilä Water and Waste.
