This, the third Main Engine Damage report from The Swedish Club, sheds light on an expensive category of damage that is all too frequent. Statistically a vessel will suffer between one and two incidences of main engine damage during its life time. Considering the costly consequences for ship owners and their hull insurers, it is important to identify the main causes of this damage and examine how these can be prevented.
Overview
Initially the study aims to put main engine damage claims into context by examining claims statistics for the Hull and Machinery (H&M) segment. It then examines in detail main engine damage claims – specifically frequency, vessel type, engine manufacturer, engine speed, damaged parts and cause of damage.
The Swedish Club has invited two of the world’s major engine manufacturers, MAN Engines and Wärtsilä, to provide their own insight into this issue, and to share loss prevention advice obtained from their archives.
The statistics from the years 2015-2017 are compared with the period of the previous studies, 2010-2014.
