The U.S. Coast Guard seeks training for up to three personnel from the Industrial Production Facility in Portsmouth to ensure proficiency in the overhaul and maintenance of the ALCO-251 engine Fuel Injector Pump Supports, specifically utilized on 270’ Medium Endurance Cutters. The vendor will provide a comprehensive training program that includes both classroom instruction and hands-on experience, with at least 50% of the course dedicated to practical application. Key training components comprise diesel theory, engine construction, component removal and inspection labs for essential fuel system elements, and major engine maintenance tasks. The training will take place at the vendor's facility in Beloit, Wisconsin, scheduled for April 28 to May 2, without requirements for lodging or meals. The program will adhere to Fairbanks Morse's technical standards for the ALCO-251 engines, emphasizing a structured approach towards equipping Coast Guard technicians with vital skills for maintaining critical marine equipment.

Fairbanks Morse LLC is offering specialized training courses for the ALCO engine product, which is exclusively provided for the U.S. Coast Guard. The training consists of a one-week maintenance course and a two-week overhaul class, both of which are the only OEM-authorized sessions available. The overhaul class comprises approximately 30% classroom instruction and 70% hands-on training, where participants disassemble, inspect, and reassemble key engine components such as cylinder heads, pistons, camshafts, and fuel system elements. The training is conducted at Fairbanks Morse's facility in Beloit, Wisconsin. This initiative is vital for ensuring that personnel maintain and repair ALCO engines effectively, promoting operational readiness within maritime operations under the U.S. Coast Guard. The offering reflects both the company’s collaboration with government entities and its commitment to technical training in support of federal operational standards.
