New systems are produced and developed to meet specific needs, and their reliability is the most important issue. In the maritime industry, evaluating failures in a ship’s propulsion system results in high costs and the loss of prestige for the company. Land/sea fleet employees need to detect and minimize the failures that may occur in ship propulsion systems in advance to ensure the continuity of the ships’ operations. In this study, the recorded failure data of four different ships belonging to a fleet in the last 10 years are used. Failures were examined as a whole since the ships have similar propulsion systems. The obtained failure data were grouped, and the average time to fix the failures was determined by the chief engineer and made suitable for reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis. A suitable model was created for grouped failures by Isograph’s RWB software. As a result of the analysis of the propulsion system and its subsystems, the main engine of the ship was shown to have the best reliability. Furthermore, the most important components were the cylinders of the main engine as subsystems. This study highlights the components that are important to the reliability of a propulsion system. Thanks to the RAM analysis, improvements can be pinpointed on a ship’s propulsion system, which will increase the operations of the maritime industry. Reducing failures will further increase the confidence in maritime transport and strengthen its place among the modes of transportation. This study provides a valuable resource for academicians, experts, as well as companies working on reliability, availability, and maintainability in the future.

In this study, the impact of propeller emergence on the performance of a ship (speed), propeller (thrust, torque, and RPM), a diesel engine (torque and RPM) and fuel consumption are analysed under severe sea conditions. The goal is to describe the variation in the system variables and fuel consumption rather than analysing the motion of the ship or the phenomenon of propeller ventilation in itself. A mathematical model of the hull, propeller, and engine interactions is developed in which the propeller emergence is included. The system parameters are set using model experiments, empirical formulae, and available data for the engine. The dynamic response of the system is examined in regular head waves under submerged and emerged conditions of the propeller. The pulsatility and the extent of variation of 20 selected variables for the coupled system of hull, propeller, and engine are elaborated using quantitative and qualitative terms and absolute and relative scales. The simulation begins with a ship moving on a straight path, in calm water, with a constant speed for the ship, propeller and engine under steady conditions. The ship then encounters regular head waves with a known time series of the total resistance of the ship in waves. Large motions of the ship create propeller emergence, which in turn reduces the propeller thrust and torque. This study shows that for a specific ship, the mean ship speed, shaft angular velocity, and engine power were slightly reduced in submerged conditions with respect to calm water. We compared the mean values of the variables to those in the emerged condition, and found that the shaft angular velocity was almost the same, the ship speed was considerably reduced, and the engine power significantly dropped with respect to calm water. The ratios of the amplitude of fluctuation to the mean (Amp/Mean) for the ship speed and angular velocity of the shaft under both conditions were considerable, while the Amp/Mean for the power delivered by the engine was extremely high. The outcomes of the study show the degree of influence of propeller emergence on these variables. We identify the extent of each change and categorise the variables into three main groups based on the results.

The problem of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in shipping is currently addressed by many research works and related industries. There are many existing and visionary technologies and ideas, which are conceptually defined or practically realised. This goal can be achieved in different ways, and reducing fuel consumption is one of the major methods. In these circumstances, the aim of this study is to analyse the possibility of fuel consumption reduction by using an alternative control strategy for low-speed marine diesel engines which would take into account the interactions between hull, propeller and main engine. For this purpose, a mathematical model including ship hull and propulsion system is developed. A case study is conducted for a ship for which the results of both the ship hull and screw propeller model tests are available. A low-speed two-stroke diesel engine is then selected for the considered ship. Two different governors are included in the model and their parameters are changed to investigate the dynamic behaviour of the system when simulating the forward acceleration mode in calm sea conditions. The research is mainly focused on variations of fuel consumption by the ship passing a certain distance to reach the nominal constant speed. It is concluded that, for a given travel distance, it is possible to save considerable amount of fuel at the expense of slight increase of journey time.

Unavailability of a ship propulsion system under aging effects and proper maintenance is estimated using GO-FLOW. GO-FLOW is an effective software tool for the unavailability analysis of complex systems. Aging effects are incorporated into GO-FLOW using a time-dependent technique and assuming a linear aging model. The results show that the aging effects and improper maintenance can potentially increase the frequency of accidents due to a malfunction of the propulsion system by a factor of three.

In this paper, we extend the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) into the intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (IFAHP) with application in ship system risk estimation. In the safety engineering, risk estimation is in practice confronted with difficulties connected with shortage of data. In such cases, we have to rely on subjective estimations made by persons with practical knowledge in the field of interest, i.e. experts. However, in some realistic situations, the decision makers might be reluctant or unable to assign the crisp evaluation values to the comparison judgments due to his/her limited knowledge. In other words, there is a certain degree of hesitancy in human cognition and his judgment. Taking advantages of IFSs in dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty into account, the IFAHP can be used to handle with the subjective preferences of experts, who may have insufficient knowledge of the problem domain or uncertainty in assigning the evaluation values to the objects considered. This paper also develops a new knowledge-based ranking method to derive the priority vector of the hierarchy. An illustrative example of the propulsion risk estimation of container carriers operating on the North Atlantic line is given to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a components importance analysis of a complex technical system with the use of selected reliability components importance measures. The analysis was carried out on a propeller shaft stern tube seal of a ship propulsion system. The reliability structure of the analyzed system was modeled by means of the fault tree. For given system components the following were determined: the Birnbaum’s reliability and structural importance measure, reliability improvement potential, criticality measure and Vesely-Fussell’s measure. A transformation of measures based on rescaling their values has been proposed to simplify the comparative analysis using different measures with reference to the same system components. A transformation process for the analyzed system has been presented together with a results visualization of comparative components importance analysis by means of 3D bar charts and radar charts for a data series determined as system components and importance measures. Comments on the proposed methodology have been presented and other ways of its application have been indicated.

The article presents possible application of the theory of semi-Markov processes in creating the eight-state model of the process of appearance of the propulsion systems ability and inability states on sea-going vessels performing transportation tasks in a relatively long operating time t (t → ∞). The model has been proved to be able to be successfully used for determining the reliability of the abovementioned systems. The probability of faultless operation in time t was assumed the measure of system reliability. Operating situations of sea-going vessels were characterised, with special attention being paid to the fact that the loads of propulsion system components of these vessels are of random nature. These loads lead to damages which for this reason were also considered random events. It was also assumed that the damages provoke the appearance of states of inability of particular ship propulsion system components which means that these states are random events as well. The states of ability of a given ship propulsion system have been assumed to exist when all components of this system are in the state of ability. In case when at least one component is in the state of inability, the entire system is in the state of inability. Conditions were formulated for the reliability model of an arbitrary system to be able to be worked out in the form of the semi-Markov process. The need for the use of technical diagnostics in reliability examination of sea-going ship propulsion systems was indicated. In conclusions, certain qualities of the article were highlighted which are, in author’s opinion, of highest importance in reliability examination of sea-going ship propulsion systems.

Loss of the propulsion function by a ship is one of the most serious categories of hazardous events in sea transport. In specific external conditions it may lead to a loss of ship and environmental pollution. The consequences of propulsion loss by a ship are events classified by the International Maritime Organization as casualties or incidents. The probabilities of occurrence of the former events in a specific time unit constitute the propulsion risk of a ship. Determination of these probabilities is in practice confronted with difficulties connected with shortage of data. A method for estimating the risk caused by loss of a seagoing ship propulsion function is proposed. The estimation is fully based on the expert judgments. Expert is assumed to be well acquainted with the subject he is expected to formulate his judgment on. Expert should also be capable of formulating his judgment. This is connected with level of his education and the language used in the elicitation process, particularly as regards the parameters the expert is expected to estimate. This may be the language of numerical or linguistic values. Numerical values are better but are more difficult to articulate - also errors in judgments are more likely. To overcome this problem and to obtain a more accurate estimation, this study suggests using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which quantifies the subjective judgments and confirms the consistency of collected data. An example of the propulsion risk estimation of container carriers operating on the North Atlantic line allows to assess effectiveness of the method.

The ship propulsion shaft line is one of the most critical ship components having big influence on a ship safety. Because of that, there is well known need for proper shaft line survey either by ship crew, ship owner technical services as well as by classification society surveyors. One of the most dangerous and frequent kind of shaft line failures, especially on old ships, is a fatigue break of the collar coupling bolts. It usually causes the loss of the possibility to use the main propulsion system. In case of the bad weather and severe sea conditions it can lead even to the ship loss. The paper presents some data on failure statistics that was observed to shaft lines and propulsion system machinery. Furthermore, analyses of causes and generation mechanism of the mentioned fatigue breaks of the collar coupling bolts is presented.

The paper presents the development of specialized ship's propulsion system during last twenty years. It was shown some applied solutions of propulsion systems and what aims were achieved: improving of manoeuvring ability, the achievement ofpropulsion system's high efficiency in very large range from the idling to full load and the increasing of navigation safety. Ship propulsion systems are more often applied, especially for ships which operate on the sea in special ways and need: ship positioning, very high manoeuvring abilities, other ships services, self manoeuvring even for cruise ships. These propulsion systems are not needed applying the steering gears. These functions: steering and propulsion do thrusters, which in these cases are built in twin systems. It ensures possibilities of ship's propulsion (motion) keeping, even in case of failure in one propulsion system. For reason of sea traffic increasing, especially on sea area, when this traffic needs co-ordination (VTS stations), ship equipped in modern propulsion system should ensure greater navigation safety for herself and should decrease collision risk for other ships situated on this sea area. The usage high-performance and efficiency active powerplants is a key for the enlargement of the safety of sea shipping.

W artykule przedstawiono rozwój układów napędowych specjalistycznych statków w okresie ostatnich dwudziestu lat. Podano stosowane rozwiązania oraz jakie cele udało się osiągnąć: zwiększenie zdolności manewrowych jednostek, uzyskanie wysokiej sprawności układów napędowych w szerokim zakresie obciążeń od biegu jałowego do obciążenia nominalnego oraz podniesienie bezpieczeństwa żeglugi. Układy napędowe z nowoczesnymi pędnikami są coraz powszechniej stosowane, szczególnie dla statków, które uprawiają nietypowążeglugę i wymagają: pozycjonowania jednostki, wysokich zdolności manewrowych, obsługi innych statków, samodzielnego manewrowania nawet w przypadku dużych statków pasażerskich. Układy te nie wymagają stosowania tradycyjnych maszyn sterowych. Funkcje sterowania i napędu jednostki spełniają pędniki, które z tego powodu budowane są minimum w układach podwójnych. W związku ze zwiększaniem się ruchu morskiego, szczególnie na akwenach, na których ruch ten wymaga koordynacji (stacji kierowania ruchem), statek posiadający nowoczesny układ napędowy będzie w stanie zapewnić bezpiecznążeglugę dla siebie i zmniejszyć zagrożenie kolizyjne w stosunku do wszystkich jednostek znajdujących się na danym akwenie. Stosowanie wysokosprawnych pędników aktywnych jest kluczem do zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa żeglugi.

The paper concerns a propulsion system of merchant ships intended for sailing in the Baltic Sea zone. Such system is to satisfy the ecological requirements determined by relevant international conventions for special zones to which the Baltic Sea also belongs. The paper draws attention to gas turbine used as a prime mover for such ships, because it satisfies the ecological requirements and has also other advantages. Application of gas turbine for ship powering does not require exhaust gas to be purified, however it requires fuel oils of a low sulphur content to be used. If the ecological rules impose the using of the fuel oils of similar quality for diesel engines then gas turbine propulsion system will be comparable - also economically (regarding specific fuel oil consumption cost) - with that of diesel engine. It would be even more favourable in a combine gas turbine /steam turbine system, especially at compound production of electric and heat energy (i.e. COGES systems). In the Baltic Sea zone gas turbines willfind application to powering a. o. such ships as : fast car-passenger ferries, fast cargo ships, special vehicles (hydrofoils, hovercraft, motor yachts).
