At Seawork 2008, Finning, one of the UK’s leading marine engine providers, will promote the worldwide Caterpillar support network, designed to deliver on-board maintenance and emergency repair services both in the UK and overseas.
The company will also showcase the range of Caterpillar propulsion and auxiliary power engines available for applications ranging from military ships to workboats to rescue vessels, including the Cat, MaK and Perkins-Sabre brands.
Finning is renowned for its professional service capability, with locally-based service engineers offering support across the UK, from installation, to commissioning, to emergency repairs and preventative maintenance. As part of the global Caterpillar dealership family, Finning can support a vessel as it sails overseas, by engaging the services of any local Caterpillar dealer across the world. For the ship’s maintenance crew, this provides service continuity, technical support and rapid parts delivery from a trusted supplier whenever the ship comes in to port.
Finning is a total solutions provider that specifies, commissions and maintains a wide range of marine power systems, including full propulsion packages, generator sets and auxiliary engines.
Included in the range are high-speed CAT engines offering simple operation and improved vessel manoeuvrability. Finning also sells and supports the popular MaK brand; very successful in larger vessels with a lower engine speed that provides a long service life, as well as the range of Perkins-Sabre diesel propulsion and auxiliary engines.
Power ratings range from 64 kW to 16,000 kW and all engines are designed to provide rugged reliability and low cost of ownership.
As at last year’s show, Finning will also be sponsoring the MoD luncheon taking place in the pavilion and supporting a number of seminars.
