Optimizing global service delivery networks through strategic partnerships

In the maritime industry, the ability to deliver services consistently across locations around the world has become a defining competitive advantage. Shipowners and technical managers operating in an increasingly globalized environment expect uniform processes, proven quality standards, and reliable outcomes, whether their vessels are serviced in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East. As global supply chains expand, maritime transport of freight and energy products continue to grow, driving a need for improved maintenance facilities.

Roberto Pérez Sueiro, Manager of Operations in South-West Europe for Burckhardt Compression, looks at the opportunities to improve these facilities and the expertise supporting dry docks for the benefit of all maritime operators. 

Global trade depends on the interconnected trade routes that cross the world’s oceans. Operators are always looking to maximize efficiency and reliability, which means that optimizing the time vessels spend in dry dock is crucial. At the same time, corporate strategies to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint and improve fuel efficiency are also impacting ship design. For example, there has been a surge in new orders for vessels powered by liquified natural gas (LNG), including container ships, tankers, and cruise liners, with the aim of reducing emissions, which means that operators’ demand for gas compressor maintenance expertise is also rising.
