PT. Baruna Raya Logistics Upgrades Fleet Performance with Caterpillar C32 ACERT Main Engine Acquisition

JAKARTA — Reinforcing its commitment to operational reliability and service excellence for energy charterers, PT. Baruna Raya Logistics has acquired a new Caterpillar C32 ACERT main engine to replace an existing unit on one of its active Crew Boats.

This strategic re-engining project underscores the company’s continuous investment in fleet maintenance and technical optimization to maintain uncompromised vessel performance across offshore charters.

Technical Advantages of the Caterpillar C32 ACERT

Engineered specifically for demanding marine environments, the Caterpillar C32 ACERT delivers superior power density and environmental efficiency:

• Compact & High Power Output: Designed with a space-saving footprint while delivering exceptional propulsion power and ease of operation for vessel crew.
• Advanced Corrosion Protection: Features a Separate Circuit Aftercooling (SCAC) system (Ratings A–C) that prevents seawater from circulating through the aftercooler core, preventing internal corrosion. Seawater Aftercooling (SWAC) options are available for Ratings D and E.
• Extended Maintenance Intervals: Incorporates a Wide Operating Speed Range (WOSR) with extended oil change intervals (Rating A up to 1,000 hours, Rating B up to 750 hours, and Rating C up to 500 hours).
• Compliance with Environmental Standards: Certified to meet strict IMO II and EPA Tier 3 marine emission regulations.
• Global Dealer Support: Backed by extensive validation testing and Caterpillar’s global service network.

Resource Optimization & Client Dedication

In line with Baruna Raya Logistics’ asset management strategy, the replaced engine unit will undergo a complete technical overhaul before being redeployed for auxiliary or future operational needs.

Upgrading to the Caterpillar C32 ACERT ensures maximum vessel uptime, preventing operational disruptions and consistently exceeding client expectations—further reinforcing Baruna Raya Logistics’ core mission to provide high-quality, reliable marine services to the energy sector.
