• Drive and automation systems have to be continuously available in any industry and all over the world
• Increased wear can lead to a standstill of the plant and cause noticeable financial loss
• That's why Marport wanted Siemens to provide a comprehensive Motor Management Program to ensure the long-term availability of 99 motors
• The customer also requires minimized downtimes during the inspections
• Furthermore, the quality of the predictive maintenance should be improved by using vibration analysis

The Motor Management Program for Marport consisted of:

• On-site services: Inspection, testing and reporting at the customer´s site
• In-house services: Maintenance and repair in the Siemens repair center in Istanbul incl. RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis)

Furthermore, a vibration analysis (twice a year) and electrical testing (once a year) schedule for the 99 large motors were implemented.

Marport operates two container terminals: The Marport Main Terminal and the West Terminal. Marport Main Terminal handled a volume of 718,543 TEU in 2012. Marport increased the capacities of both the terminal area and the quays which enabled it to begin services for deep draft post-panamax container vessels exceeding 10,000 TEU. The terminal reached an annual capacity of 950,000 TEU. The West Terminal was added to the Marport facility in 2003. The West Terminal reached a throughput of 865,344 TEU at the end of 2012 and increased its capacity to 950,000 TEU with further investments.
