Recurrent equipment problems or failure often result in unplanned downtime and incurred costs. The most common failing devices are engine components, bearings, exhaust valves, piston rings, liners, etc. These systems fail due to defective design, metals, imperfections during metallurgical operations (such as casting, forging, welding, etc.) or during heat treatment operations, overloading of equipment, among other reasons.
In most cases, ship staff do not have the necessary equipment on hand or knowledge to carry out proper diagnosis of the problem and get the systems back up and running in time to minimize downtime. The Viswa Group’s detailed metallurgical analysis enables the ship operator to educate ship staff regarding defective operation and file a claim against the insurance agency and equipment manufacturer, helping save time and money.
