THE STATISTICS OF FAILURE AND EVALUATION OF RELIABILITY ON THE MARINE DIESEL ENGINE

The paper presents the results of an analysis of a large number (approximately 7,500) of failure reports on marine Diesel engines in Japanese merchant ships. These data were obtained during a period of about one million operating hours between 1965 and 1970 for four types of engine and ten types of ships of varying age and degree of automation. As a result of the analysis, recommendations are made for improving the maintenance and reliability of marine Diesel engines.
