The Management of Maintenance, Reliability and Safety in the Maritime Industry

25-26 January 2012, London, UK

Conference Overview

As offshore oil, commercial and naval sectors seek lower through life costs, the reliability of ship systems and optimising their maintenance become key elements in the cost equation.  When the equation is flawed, the additional risk taken can cause spectacular outcomes. 

There is a growing field of engineering that calculates the true cost of defering maintenance and the risks to company and even to an industrial sector’s reputation, these approaches try to square the circle of managing competing demands of availability, cost, levels of safety and environmental standards which the maritime industry must seek to achieve.

“Managing Reliability, Maintainability and Safety in the Maritime industry”, will present and discuss developments in tools and asset management techniques for improving risk-based inspection, system availability & reliability, within reduced maintenance budgets whilst demands for increasing safety increase.

Conference Content

Papers were invited on the following topics areas:

• Risk-based survey and maintenance planning
• Technicques for Reliability Centred Maintenance, Condition-based maintenance etc
• Asset management and governance
•  Integrated safety and maintenance management
•  New technologies that save through-life costs of maintenance and repair
• Cost engineering and programme management
• Ship mid-life extension and conversion
