Overview
An offshore support operator needed a reliable channel for engine consumables and service parts to keep crew boats running to strict charter schedules.
Challenge
Parts had to be correct on first delivery — there is no room for wrong part numbers offshore — and the operator wanted a single supplier for filters, gaskets, pumps, and small tooling across several engine models.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel-water separator filters | FS19517, FS19599, FS19591, FS19735 | 600 |
| Engine service parts | Gasket sets, water pumps, thermostats, belts for 6BT / 6CTA / KTA19 | 1 lot |
| Engine tooling | Valve guide reamer 3822490 and service tools | 6 sets |
Scope of supply
Part-number verification against engine serial numbers, six-month parts forecast, kit packing by vessel, air freight for urgent items and sea freight for stock, DAP Luanda.
Outcome
Parts availability improved and the operator consolidated its engine consumables purchasing with MARS on a quarterly forecast.
Customer names are withheld; the case describes a typical supply scope built from products in the MARS catalogue.
