In a Memorandum of Understanding recently signed by Wärtsilä and ASRY, the Finnish headquartered marine propulsion specialist will offer engine, automation and propulsion service work within the Bahrain shipyard from its own dedicated workshop facility, using its own highly trainer engineers. The new specialist services being provided by Wärtsilä at ASRY complements those already being provided by the established propulsion and machinery service partner Goltens. Goltens has been responsible for a large proportion of all diesel repairs at the yard, as well as being solely responsible for all engine governor and fuel system repair work. Goltens has a fully equipped workshop within ASRY for the overhaul, repair and testing of most types of governors and actuators.

ASRY and Wärtsilä have completed a notable propulsion system job on the Saudi Arabian owned Anchor Handling Tug/Offshore Supply vessel ‘Zamil 5’. Work on the 60.5m vessel, undertaken on ASRY’s new slipways, involved the renewal of the Wärtsilä shafts and CPP propellers onboard the 1,173dwt vessel.
