Ship FailuresThe shipping industry is made up of many types of ships. Tankers, carriers, bulk cargo, and container ships comprise a significant portion of vessels used. These ships have various equipment and components that may experience failure. Some examples of failures are listed below:
The consequences of these failures can vary considerably. When failure of a component may affect ship seaworthiness it is generally recommended the owner perform a failure analyses to ensure the future fail safe operation of the vessel. Not all ship failures need a comprehensive failure analysis. At times a preliminary examination will provide enough information to show a simple analysis is adequate. Some common causes of ship failures are listed below:
