Finning UK & Ireland will showcase the latest Cat marine solutions at the upcoming Scottish Skipper Expo.

The event, taking place on 9th and 10th of May 2024 at the P&J Live Exhibition Arena in Aberdeen, sees Finning highlight machines including the Cat C32 marine propulsion engine.

A key focus for Finning will be helping customers understand the sustainable solutions available to maintain asset performance, such as overhauling engines to give them a new lease of life. Finning will also help visitors navigate the latest IMO III emissions regulations.

Visitors will have the opportunity to speak to Finning marine experts, including Gordon Dalrymple, marine sales manager, and Martin Yule, product sales support manager – marine, oil & gas.

Gordon Dalrymple said, “We understand the challenges our customers face in balancing cost, performance, reliability and sustainability. Our goal is to provide guidance and support to help them find the best solutions for their specific needs, whether that’s investing in new equipment or opting for the sustainable choice of overhauling their existing engines.”

Finning has developed a range of overhaul options tailored to different maintenance intervals. These include a complete Cat Certified engine rebuild and top-end overhauls, as well as alternatives that focus on utilising Cat remanufactured parts.

Gordon Dalrymple added, “By choosing to overhaul an existing engine, vessel owners can extend its lifespan across multiple lifecycles, with the process taking anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Depending on the engine model, an overhauled engine can operate for another 20,000 hours before requiring further major maintenance, making it an attractive option for many.”

A highlight of the Finning stand will be the Cat C32 marine propulsion engine, which is available at ratings that meet IMO II emissions regulations, with the option to be equipped to meet IMO III standards when paired with SCR exhaust aftertreatment.

Finning will be offering a 20% discount on Cat parts, such as filters and fluids, for the duration of the event.
