Abstract

Rapid development in shipbuilding and ship repair calls for “cradle to grave” approach in ship maintenance to maximize growth. Organisations typically struggle to balance ideal maintenance philosophies against ongoing cost reductions whilst maintaining high availability of vessels. Due to limited research on Downtime Influence Factors (DIFs) on ships, improvement efforts could not be allocated precisely in tackling issues involving combined “human and equipment” aspects impacting ship availability. The purpose of this study is to generate RMN ship maintenance DIFs and their severity measures via a Delphi approach. The research pinpointed to 15 Severe DIFs as the key problem areas for prioritization of efforts in improving RMN ship availability.
