CONDITION MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE-FOUR YEARS FLEET EXPERIENCE

This paper describes a planned maintenance system using condition monitoring as the main method of determining when maintenance should be done. A summary of four years operating experience of this system, now used in 56 ships, is given, together with details of the equipment and methods used. The Authors conclude that the system has proved effective and has shown benefits in reduced maintenance manhours and spare gear usage, and outline the next steps in the development of the system.
