Foreword
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of proactive maintenance techniques by Owners
for repair and maintenance of machinery onboard vessels and offshore structures. The resulting
preventative maintenance programs developed as a result of applying these techniques are being used
by the vessel’s crew and shore-based repair personnel. There have been numerous advances in
condition monitoring technology, trending and increasingly more powerful planned maintenance
software as a result of increased petition. Since 1978, ABS has cooperated with Owners
on developing and implementing preventative maintenance programs. In 1984, ABS issued its first
Guide for Survey Based on Preventative Maintenance Techniques with subsequent updates in 1985,
1987, 1995 and then inclusion in the Rules for Survey After Construction – Part 7 in mid 2002.
However, machinery systems have continued to e larger and plex, requiring skilled
operators with specialized knowledge of the machinery and systems onboard. This Guide for Survey
Based on Reliability-centered Maintenance was developed to provide vessel and other marine
structure Owners, managers and operators with a tool to develop a maintenance program using
techniques applied in other industries for machinery systems within a maintenance philosophy
referred to as Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM). With the application of RCM principles,
maintenance is evaluated and applied in a rational manner that provides the most value to a vessel’s
Owner/manager/operator. Accordingly, improved equipment and system reliability onboard vessels
and other m
