The contract covers around 330 turbochargers installed on board various vessels from the Anglo-Eastern fleet operating worldwide. The turbocharger types covered by the contract are a mixture of NA/TCA axial types for main engines, and NR/TCR radial types for auxiliary engines.
PrimeServ said that a key influence in negotiations was the good fit between the global nature of Anglo-Eastern’s trading routes and PrimeServ’s global network of service centres. Under the terms of the agreement, PrimeServ will provide all relevant services complete maintenance package.
