SKF condition monitoring offers cost-cutting potential to BP Shipping (pic)

SKF, the knowledge engineering company, has created a preventative maintenance programme for the BP Shipping fleet that has the potential to cut costs and decrease maintenance. The detailed maintenance management programme enables a range of benefits, from optimising engine management to cutting maintenance costs and demands on manpower. The innovative system of monitoring and reporting, devised and managed by SKF, enables on-board engineers to perform maintenance and replace components by providing specific data as to which tasks need to be performed and when.

BP Shipping currently maintains a fleet of 53 vessels, transporting a range of products from crude oil to aviation fuel. At the beginning of the project, SKF engineers visited each of the vessels to examine critical machinery and identify which units should be regularly monitored, and subsequently applied measurement studs to each machine. Sensors were then attached to the studs to enable the recording of baseline data, enabling SKF engineers to produce a precisely detailed report for each vessel on the current condition of the machinery.

The next stage of the project was to provide basic on-board training for the Chief Engineer of each vessel in the use of a hand-held computer to collect data from the machines. This enabled the vessel
