Over the course of the last 3 years VDL AEC Maritime has managed the successful installation, commissioning and handover of 24 Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) on board the fleet of the Athens based and leading ship owner Maran Dry Management Inc., according to the company's release. A challenging period that could be successfully completed thanks to the good and close cooperation of both companies’ well experienced project teams.
The joint project team of Maran Dry Management Inc. and VDL AEC Maritime was always able to deliver according the strict and predefined schedule and maintain an average of 20 installation days allowing the dry dock to be vacated on time and the commissioning process to begin.
After a thorough and intensive commissioning period, VDL AEC Maritime remained flexible and cooperative in order to get the ships quickly back in operation.
With its 24/7 lifecycle support the VDL AEC Maritime Service organization supported Maran with critical spares, remote support and service attendances to guarantee a continuous and smooth operation of their fleet.
