Maintenance
HOW TO SAVE OWNERS’
MONEY
 It has been initiated to increase crew safety,
Smart  asset reliability and lifetime
Maintenance  reduce OPEX
 increase Time Between Overhauls (TBOs) and
availability of spare parts.
 This is done by using state-of-the-art technologies
such as vibration analysis, drain oil analysis, smart
glasses, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machinery fault
detection techniques, maintenance process
monitoring tools, but also class notations and
collaboration with original equipment manufacturers
(OEM).
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN
MAINTENANCE?
 Break-down Maintenance: There is no maintenance plan beyond complete replacement upon failure, still very much
applicable to many components, e.g. navigation lights.
 Preventive Maintenance: Otherwise called Planned Maintenance. This calls for structures, systems and components to be
opened out for inspection and overhaul at specified time periods, or after a specified number of running hours, in order to
ensure that the structure/system/component is in a satisfactory condition for continued operation.
 Condition-Based Maintenance: In this case, the need for maintenance is based on the performance or physical state of the
structure/system/component, as determined by regular or continuous checks of applicable parameters. Maintenance is only
undertaken when conditions have approached or reached the lowest acceptable standard and before serious deterioration,
breakdown or failure occurs.
 Predictive Maintenance: The core of this type is almost the same as CBM, however it uses more advanced Condition
Monitoring analysis, complex algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify acceptability for continued service or the
requirement for maintenance. This introduces the possibility of identifying the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a component,
and based on PMS daily routines, port calls, spare part availability, time to receive spare part, it suggests the most optimum slot
to perform the maintenance.
 Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM): The RCM philosophy employs all the above techniques in an integrated manner to
increase the probability that a machine or component will function in the required manner over its design life cycle with a
minimum of maintenance. This means that we could have equipment under Preventive Maintenance, other under Run-to-
Failure and other under Condition Based Maintenance for the same vessel.
 Smart Maintenance is the strategy to ensure sustainable
vessel operations. Planned activities that are triggered by
time-based intervals are combined with condition-based
activities that are triggered by the outcome of condition
evaluation.
 Remote support capabilities are enabled by the use of
STRATEGY advanced onboard infrastructure and communication

technologies.
 The integrated smart report capability supports the
performance and maintenance data analytics to provide
advanced machinery health diagnostics.

WHY CONDITION-BASED
MAINTENANCE?
• Reduces OPEX
• Maximizes the life of machinery assets
• Provides crew with a better insight of machineries’ health
• Reduces probability of equipment break-down and incidents after an
inspection
• Reduces off-hire
• Increases reputation of the vessel towards charterers and gives charterer
piece of mind
• Saves maintenance time and increases time between overhauls, leading
to optimized planning of spare part orders
• Provides an early indication of possible faults, so preventive measures
can be taken
Condition
Monitoring
 Condition Monitoring helps us to know the health condition of our machinery without the need for
opening them up.” It enables us to collect data with non-invasive techniques. “And like a good medical
doctor, we are able to diagnose a treatment outside the fixed boundaries of a planned maintenance
system.”
 We can achieve better spare prices since we will order them in a timely manner
 We can perform corrective actions to expand the asset’s life and increase the time between overhauls.
 Cost Saving of over USD 90,000 during Pilot Phase examples
 By applying Condition Monitoring, in particular a vibration device for analysis and measurement, the
project team achieved during the pilot phase for four vessels a total cost saving of over USD 90,000 for
the ship owners, ending up charging merely USD 2,500 per year and vessel for the service.
 On a chemical and oil tanker, a vibration analysis and measurement device by HAT Analytics was used
for the first time as part of the condition monitoring process. For six consecutive months of
measurements, the device indicated that the condition of monitored engine room vent fans, boiler FD
fan, motors of major pumps and compressors, and main engine auxiliary blower was impeccable. The
Technical Superintendent of the vessel, with the owner’s approval, decided to skip the opening and
overhaul of this equipment, resulting in USD 35,000 of savings for the client.
 In the case of another tanker, the vibration device had detected a problem with the main engine lube oil
pump. The Chief Engineer followed up, opened the equipment, confirmed the problem, and managed
to overhaul it in time. Ioannou confirms: “If we hadn’t identified the issue in time, it could have
resulted in larger damage and higher maintenance costs. Acting timely saved our client USD 8,600.”
