MTU CONCEPT ON THE WAY TO CONDITION-ORIENTATED MAINTENANCE
The serviceability of a ship, vital to its commercial operation, depends to a large extent on the reliability of the propulsion engine. The flexible maintenance concept of the engine manufacturer MTU makes it possible to set optimum maintenance intervals calculated according to ship type, category of operation and operational areas. This concept not only increases service availability, but also reduces the engine's maintenance and operational costs. The goals of this concept, which has been developed in stages by MTU, are optimum maintenance intervals orientated to engine condition.
