We are pleased to share an important development in the field of digital engine performance monitoring and Engine Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM).

Our Principals, Messrs. Propulsion Analytics, in collaboration with GasLog and ABS, have successfully developed and implemented a data-driven Engine Condition-Based Maintenance system.
As a result, a GasLog LNG carrier has become the first commercial vessel worldwide to receive the combined ABS SMART (MHM) and PMP CBM notations, demonstrating that Class-approved Condition-Based Maintenance is now a practical and proven solution rather than a future concept.

The main objective is to move engine maintenance from conventional running-hour-based intervals to a purely condition-based approach, supported by actual engine performance data and advanced analysis.

Key benefits include:

• Lower operating costs by avoiding unnecessary overhauls, reducing spare parts consumption and minimizing service attendance
• Smarter maintenance planning, based on engine condition and predictive diagnostics instead of fixed schedules
• Improved reliability and availability, through early detection of developing issues before they lead to failures or off-hire
• Integration with existing vessel data, including lubrication analysis, oil condition, vibration monitoring and Planned Maintenance Systems, providing a comprehensive view of engine health

This project demonstrates that digital Engine Condition-Based Maintenance can now be implemented within a Class-approved framework.
This can further assist Shipowners to optimize maintenance strategies, improve machinery reliability and reduce lifecycle costs.

If you require any further information or wish to discuss how Propulsion Analytics’ solutions could benefit your fleet, we would be pleased to arrange a meeting at a date/time of your convenience.
