Flame Marine announces Powered by Flame Diagnostic

Flame Marine, the world leading independent provider of diagnostic services based on cylinder drain oil and engine performance analysis for slow speed marine diesel engines announces a new service for OEM's and service companies to provide branded reports based upon the Flame Diagnostic service.

"This is an exciting new direction for Flame Marine and one that we have been trialing for some time." said Terence McGeary, Managing Director of Flame Marine. "Having been approached by large organisations wanting us to undertake their analyses for them, we realised that there was a market requirement for this service. It allows larger companies, who may be seen to have a conflict of interest in providing this form of service, to be able to leverage the independance and authority of Flame Marine whilst still maintaining their links through their own branding back to their own customers." said McGeary.

Flame Marine announces Flame Diagnostic

Flame Marine, the world leading independent provider of diagnostic services based on cylinder drain oil and engine performance analysis for slow speed marine diesel engines announces a rebranding of its services into the Flame Diagnostic brand.

"In response to popular demand we have brought all our analysis technologies under one consistent brand." said Terence McGeary, Managing Director of Flame Marine. "Our research shows that historically, customers have been confused about the services being offered and frequently refer to them as 'Scrape Down Analysis' or 'CDO Analysis' when there is much more to Flame Diagnostic than simple CDO Analysis. By marketing the brand as a general diagnostic service, we feel that we help explain the essence of our service more clearly." said McGeary.

Flame Diagnostic will be rolled out to new and existing customers over the next few weeks.
