Support of aging vesselsObsolescence management
Life cycle management plan is critical to support assets as ship’s electrical plant ages
Not managing assets can be costly in operational downtime
Electrical and automation plant and systems can not last forever
Need to raise awareness of obsolescence management

Support of aging vesselsObsolescence management
ABB devised series of life cycle services: protects operation of critical electrical plant and systems extends life of vessel by many years properly maintained systems keep ahead of latest software
and hardware updates stay competitive in marketplace
System may end up different from original purchase – but transition seamless, painless and comparatively low cost

Support of aging vesselsLife cycle appraisal
Carried out by local ABB marine service centre Often at no cost Life cycle map identifies life cycle status of all electrical
plant Certain products (transformers) have no life cycle map -
simply replaced Other electrical plant (variable-speed drives, automation
and switchgear) mapped throughout their entire life cycle

Support of aging vesselsLife cycle appraisal
Equipment list means mapping of assets can be carried out by ABB without vessel visit
Assessment of asset life cycle takes half-a-day Results in customer knowing:
exact status of all equipment any problems with spares forward plan maintenance investments improved long term planning of capital and operational
expenditure

Support of aging vesselsLife cycle management model
Four-phases comprising: Active Classic Limited Obsolete
Model helps companies: recognise phase of their electrical and automation
equipment determine what level of support is needed on existing
installations

Covers entire scope of supply of ABB products and systems including:
ABB’s Extended Automation System 800xA distributed control system
low and medium voltage drives machines and generators AVRs switchgear

“Active” and “Classic” phases have complete life cycle services available:
product selection and dimensioning installation and commissioning preventive and corrective maintenance remote monitoring and intelligent diagnostics technical support upgrade and retrofit replacement and recycling training and learning

Products in “Classic” phase not actively promoted by sales team
Still have comprehensive support “Limited” phase equipment is no longer available for
purchase services offered are limited spare parts, maintenance and repair services are available as
long as materials can be obtained

“Obsolete” phase equipment is not available ABB cannot guarantee availability of services for technical
reasons or within reasonable cost Many customers do not even realise equipment is in obsolete
phase Extremely costly for applications like drilling vessels If failure occurs then maintenance may be reactive Risk that when part fails, a replacement part may not be
available Cost to operator can be huge, particularly if complete
replacement of a long lead time item is required

Important that companies realise there is a sound alternative
One that will not only save money but will reduce stress and panic of a key system failing
By proactively helping customers manage electrical assets, failures and vessel downtime avoided
Migration to current technology can be phased to suit vessel dockings and customer budgets

Support of aging vesselsBespoke automation and control systems
Global Vessel Information and Control organisation, aimed at helping merchant and offshore vessels operate more efficiently and safely
Develop automation solutions specifically for marine applications, based on ABB’s field-proven process automation technologies including:
marine advisory and fleet management reporting solutions integrated automation vessel management and control systems marine instrumentation and sensors

Support of aging vesselsBespoke automation and control systems
Benefits include improved: vessel operations and performance energy efficiency on-board equipment reliability and availability operational safety
Demand for upgraded vessel information and control systems has increased
Ship operators must be ready to meet new environmental regulations
Lower on-board energy use and fuel consumption ABB’s automation and control technologies provide visibility
and control needed to achieve these goals and improve operating costs
