Abstract

The shipping competitiveness is considered as a daily concern for the shipowners. This competitiveness could not be realized without safe and cost-effective operation of ship and that is reliable and environmentally sustainable. To assure its sustainability, the shipping companies need to re-evaluate its maintenance philosophy to create a vial maintenance strategy. There is an inextricable link between maintenance and reliability. The maintenance approach which consist of replacing components based on running hours is not economically feasible. This paper proposes the world class ship maintenance and reliability approach as a mean to improve ship reliability, to reduce maintenance cost and to reduce the maritime accidental events. The implementation barriers of this approach have been addressed, where proposing solutions to surmount these barriers.
