(a) Continuous Machinery Survey(CMS)
- CMS is the survey of a part of machinery as per Class’s survey lists. By opening up within the range date
- Continuously to complete the whole machineries on board within 5-years cycle.
(b) Classification society surveyor surveyed crankshaft, main bearings, bottom end bearings, and thrust bearings
(1) Chief Engineer’s Open up, Carry out inspection and Confirmatory Survey System
- Most CMS items except ME coupling, reduction gear, turbine and one set of cargo refrigerating compressor, can be opened up, inspected and prepared survey reports by Chief Engineer within 3 months before due date.
- All these items can be credited by attending Class Surveyor as Confirmatory survey.
(2) Substitution for Open-up Inspection System
- Pumps, heaters and deck machineries of CMS items visually inspected under operating conditions, reviewed the log book data and credited by attending Class Surveyor.
(3) Planned Maintenance Scheme (PMS)
- Most of CMS inspections are carried out by Chief engineer, based on approved computerized Planned Maintenance Scheme jobs. Class surveyor needs to attend onboard only once a year to verify the CMS items.
(4) Harmonized Survey System
- Harmonize intervals between surveys of main legitimate certificates. all main surveys can be carried out at one time and reducing the Class surveyor attendance.
(c) PMS consists of most of CMS items.

(d) (1) Lubricant Analysis
- It is condition monitoring program of the machinery. If the analysis results show normal, the machinery is assumed in normal operating condition and not necessary for open up on every occasion.
(2) Vibration Monitoring Analysis
- It is the most common technique to determine the condition of rotating machinery.
- All vibration measurements compared to alarm set points and display in graphically changes in machine condition over time.
- not necessary for open up on every occasion.

- Inspection and overhauling of components and system after opening out at specified time periods, or specified running hours
- System or component is in a satisfactory condition for continued operation.
- Maintenance carried out based on R.H prevent machineries damage.
(c) Condition Based Maintenance (Performance based)
- Maintain correct equipment at right time,
- Need for maintenance based on performance of components and system
- Determined by regular or continuous checks of applicable parameters (Checking machinery with condition monitoring system)
- Maintenance is only carried out when conditions reached lowest acceptable standard, before serious breakdown.
- Vibration monitoring analysis is the most common technique to determine the condition of machineries.
(d) Corrective Maintenance (Breakdown maintenance)
