Trans Marine Propulsion Systems Attracts International Service Expertise to Support Marine Diesel Repair Volume
SEATTLE, Sept. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trans Marine Propulsion Systems, Inc. (TMPS), known worldwide for its diesel engine service and engineering capabilities, today announced a strategic partnership with Seattle Marine Consulting LLC, owned by Jesper Th. Petersen.
"This partnership is a win win for all," said Herbert Roeser, TMPS Chairman. "Vessel owners and diesel engine operators worldwide will now have streamlined access to the expertise, knowledge base and service teams of both companies. In today's diesel world, it is hard to find the engineering experience needed to spot failures before they happen, expertise that can only be obtained from decades of hands-on experience. TMPS and Seattle Marine Consulting LLC are some of the few in the world that have this experience first-hand, from the top down."
"Together, these two companies can utilize our more than 60 years of joint engine experience on 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines and their related equipment to serve our customers the best possible way, and help them ensure proper performance of their equipment," added Jesper Th. Petersen.
Mr. Roeser and Mr. Petersen both bring strong industry backgrounds to the relationship. Starting out his career as an engineer apprentice in Denmark in 1977, Mr. Petersen obtained a BS in Marine Engineering and completed his military service. He then went on to serve in a series of leadership roles for one of the world's largest engine manufacturers, MAN Diesel & Turbo, from 1984-2011, including:
- Technical Director of MAN Diesel & Turbo North America Inc., Seattle – 2008 – 2011
- General Manager of MAN Diesel Shanghai Co. Ltd. – 2001 to 2008
- Manager at MAN B&W Diesel A/S Copenhagen – 1998 to 2001
- Section Manager at MAN B&W Diesel Copenhagen – 1994 to 1998
- Superintendent Engineer of MAN B&W Diesel Copenhagen – 1984 to 1994
Mr. Roeser, also from Scandinavia, obtained his degree from the World Maritime University in Sweden and spent his formative years as chief engineer sailing for Sanko Lines before founding TMPS in 1984. Since founding TMPS Mr. Roeser has served hundreds of ship owners and engine operators worldwide.
"One of the keys to our 28 years of success has been the ability to provide our customers with conclusive data as to why an engine or its components have failed, or are not operating to 100% of their potential," said Mr. Roeser. "This information is crucial to vessel owners and can save them millions in repairs, fuel and down time."
The partnership will provide customers with an even higher level of service, which will continue to be backed by TMPS' 28 year reputation, as well as its 1 year or 6,000 hour warranty (whichever comes first).
