After investigating the issue in remote connection, mechanical checks were carried out by the crew onboard and it was identified that the engine software needed modifying. The new software version was created by Wärtsilä and sent to the crew for installation.

Data Driven Maintenance – a more flexible approach to maintenance

With data-driven maintenance the idea is to take a condition-based approach to maintenance rather than adhering to a fixed overhaul schedule based on logged running hours and infrequent reporting. By monitoring the critical engine parameters in real time it’s possible to extend the time between overhauls and eliminate the need for some time-consuming, costly intermediate inspections.
