Seagems Extends Wärtsilä Partnership to Boost Fleet Reliability
Technology group Wärtsilä has renewed and expanded its Lifecycle Agreement with Seagems, a Brazil-based offshore operator formerly known as Sapura, covering its fleet of offshore support vessels.
The renewed agreement expands the scope of services and strengthens the strategic partnership between the companies, aiming to enhance vessel reliability and reduce carbon emissions.
The new deal reflects broader trends in the maritime industry toward collaborative, long-term partnerships and outcome-based service models as companies work to decarbonize operations.
The expanded agreement provides Seagems with upgraded power and control management software, Wärtsilä’s Data Collection Unit with cloud-based services, and remote monitoring capabilities. These will improve visibility into vessel performance and enable proactive maintenance management.
Seagems will also benefit from tailored field services for engines and propulsion systems, ensuring safe and sustainable operations throughout each vessel’s lifecycle.
“Over the years, Wärtsilä has delivered high quality, value-adding services to our offshore support vessels. The renewal and expansion of the existing agreement will support our long-term operational goals for these vessels, particularly in enhancing efficiency, reliability and sustainability,” said Ricardo Bicudo, COO at Seagems.
Seagems’ offshore support vessel fleet is specialized for platform support, supply operations, and subsea services.
“This renewed contract further strengthens our long-standing partnership with Seagems, reflecting confidence in our shared commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth in the marine sector. Our goal is always to achieve greater operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced predictability, while also supporting our customers on their journey towards decarbonization,” added Henrik Wilhelms, Director, Agreement Sales - Wärtsilä Marine.
