Marine Auxiliary Engine System Reliability Assessment by Fault Tree Analysis: A Case of MV Victoria Genset in Tanzania

Humphrey Swalle, Dr. Werneld Ngongi and Geophrey Damson

Abstract

The dependability of marine auxiliary machinery, in particular Marine Diesel Generators (MDGs), which are important for supporting critical ship activities, is critical to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of maritime operations. These generators have the potential to seriously affect ship operations, crew safety, and the environment. The purpose of this study is to assess the MDGs' reliability on board the MV Victoria, where rising failure rates have been noted over time as a result of component wear and poor maintenance. To evaluate the interdependencies and failure probabilities of MDG components, fault tree analysis, or FTA, was utilized. According to the results, mechanical failures are the most serious since they occur at far higher rates than electrical failures, which cause reliability to deteriorate more quickly over time. These findings highlight the requirement. These findings highlight the need for focused maintenance plans that give mechanical systems first priority in order to improve the overall dependability of maritime auxiliary machinery.
