- Continuous monitoring of vibration and temperature
- Early detection between inspection rounds
- Remote diagnostics and trend reporting
The Reliability GapMost marine failures do not begin with a sudden event. They develop quietly between inspection rounds, especially when assets are operating continuously and access is limited at sea. This creates a Reliability Gap, the difference between what crews can realistically check and what rotating equipment is doing in real time. Closing that gap requires a service-led approach supported by predictive maintenance technology, combining expert interpretation with continuous condition monitoring. |
What gets missed without continuous monitoringEarly-stage faults such as bearing wear, imbalance and misalignment often develop long before symptoms are obvious. Hidden degradation in pumps, compressors, fans and generators is easy to miss when inspections are intermittent or conditions are noisy. Escalation at sea can quickly become unplanned downtime, emergency repair cost, schedule disruption and increased safety exposure. |

Marine Reliability, Frequently Asked Questions
What is marine condition monitoring?
Marine condition monitoring uses techniques such as vibration analysis, temperature monitoring and operational data to assess the health of rotating equipment on vessels. It helps identify developing faults early and supports predictive maintenance for propulsion and auxiliary systems.
Which marine assets can be monitored?
Typical assets include propulsion systems, thrusters, generators, pumps, compressors, fans, HVAC systems and other critical rotating equipment. Monitoring can be applied to both main and auxiliary systems.
How does AVT Reliability support marine maintenance teams?
AVT Reliability provides engineering-led support through condition monitoring, vibration analysis and reliability engineering. This includes fault diagnosis, root cause analysis and practical recommendations that help crews and fleet managers plan maintenance more effectively.
Is Machine Sentry® suitable for vessels that operate continuously?
Yes. Machine Sentry® is designed for continuous condition monitoring, making it well suited to vessels and offshore assets that operate for long periods between inspections or port calls.
Can condition monitoring be retrofitted to existing marine equipment?
In most cases, yes. Condition monitoring sensors and portable vibration analysis tools can be installed on both modern and legacy equipment, allowing operators to improve reliability without major system changes.
How does predictive maintenance reduce unplanned downtime at sea?
Predictive maintenance uses condition data to identify faults before failure occurs. This allows maintenance to be planned during suitable windows, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns, emergency repairs and schedule disruption.
Does AVT support fleet-wide marine reliability programmes?
Yes. AVT Reliability supports both individual vessels and fleet-wide programmes, providing consistent engineering support, standardised monitoring approaches and scalable digital tools across multiple assets and locations.
