MTU Maintenance renews contract with major customer Statoil

MTU Maintenance, one of the world’s leading providers of maintenance services for commercial engines and industrial gas turbines (IGTs), has extended its contract with Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil for its General Electric LM industrial gas turbines. The seven-year agreement is valued at more than US$200m. Under the deal, MTU Maintenance will be responsible for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for parts of the largest commercial LM IGT fleet in the world, which is operated offshore on Statoil’s oil platforms. Statoil has been entrusting MTU Maintenance with its LM series industrial gas turbines for many years, MTU having been responsible for the MRO of its LM2500, LM2500+ and LM6000 series IGTs since 2006. Alongside the provision of conventional MRO services in Ludwigsfelde near Berlin, the package also covers on-site services and the supply of spare parts.
