Engine Room Resource Management

Did You Know?

Main engine damage makes up 35% of machinery claims costs, with an average of over $0.5 million per claim, says the Swedish Club. Yet, most engine damage remains related to incorrect repairs and maintenance. Numerous cases have been noted where damage occurs shortly after the engines have been overhauled by the ship or shore staff. Much of it, is due to human errors.
