Cylinder liners overhauled as part of refit

The work included the honing, cleaning, calibration and crack detection of each of the 380mm bore cylinder liners. The liners were from the ship’s Wartsila NSD NL 6L38 engine and were delivered to the Royston workshop as part of the vessel’s scheduled refit. The liners were then honed to achieve a 50°- 60° cross hatch and a finished roughness of 0.7-1.2 RA .

This work follows another contract for a Solstad ship that Royston successfully completed in West Africa recently and for which the company received considerable praise. That job was a major project that lasted several weeks and entailed a team of Royston engineers working on the ship as it sailed to Abidjan and then undertaking a 24 hour shift rota to ensure that the vessel was available for work offshore on schedule.

Royston engineers specialise in being able to support any type or age of diesel engine anywhere in the world. The company also has facilities in Perth, Australia that give its service support teams a global reach.

It also designs and manufactures enginei, a fuel andengine monitoring system that can help ship operators with their SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) compliance. The Royston system enables both onboard crew and ship operators ashore to monitor and manage the fuel consumption of every vessel in a fleet and to ensure that their engines are being used in the most efficient and economical way.
