Abstract
The aim of maintenance is to reduce the number of failures in equipment and to avoid breakdowns that may lead to disruptions during
operations. The objective of this study is to initiate the development of a predictive maintenance solution in the shipping industry based on
a computational artificial intelligence model using real-time monitoring data. The data analysed originates from the historical values from
sensors measuring the vessel´s engines and compressors health and the software used to analyse these data was R. The results demonstrated
key parameters held a stronger influence in the overall state of the components and proved in most cases strong correlations amongst sensor
data from the same equipment. The results also showed a great potential to serve as inputs for developing a predictive model, yet further
elements including failure modes identification, detection of potential failures and asset criticality are some of the issues required to define
prior designing the algorithms and a solution based on artificial intelligence. A systematic approach using big data and machine learning as
techniques to create predictive maintenance strategies is already creating disruption within the shipping industry, and maritime organizations
need to consider how to implement these new technologies into their business operations and to improve the speed and accuracy in their
maintenance decision making.
