Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Charge air cooler fouling due to oil film and oily-water deposits on tubes and fins
  • Fuel system leaks and contamination, particularly with HFO and MDO
  • Cylinder liner and piston ring wear, potentially leading to increased oil consumption and reduced engine performance
  • Exhaust valve and turbocharger issues, such as overheating and carbon buildup
  • Lubrication system problems, including oil filter clogging and pump failures
  • Cooling system leaks and corrosion, potentially causing engine overheating
  • Starting air system malfunctions, including compressor and valve issues

Inspection checklist

  • Cylinder head and valve condition
  • Piston and ring condition
  • Crankshaft and bearing condition
  • Fuel system cleanliness and leak checks
  • Lubrication system filter and pump condition
  • Cooling system leak checks and corrosion inspection
  • Exhaust system condition, including turbocharger and exhaust valve inspection
  • Starting air system condition, including compressor and valve inspection
  • Charge air cooler condition and cleaning

Critical spares

  • Cylinder liners and piston rings
  • Fuel injectors and nozzles
  • Lubrication system pumps and filters
  • Cooling system pumps and heat exchangers
  • Exhaust valve and turbocharger components
  • Starting air system compressors and valves
  • Charge air cooler tubes and fins

Safety

  • Fuel system leaks and fires
  • Lubrication system failures and engine seizures
  • Cooling system leaks and engine overheating
  • Exhaust system malfunctions and toxic gas emissions
  • Starting air system malfunctions and compressor explosions

Class survey

The class surveyor will typically check the engine's overall condition, including the cylinder head, piston, and crankshaft. They will also inspect the fuel, lubrication, and cooling systems, as well as the exhaust and starting air systems. The surveyor will verify that the engine is in compliance with the relevant regulations and standards, including those related to emissions and safety.

Estimated lifetime: 20000-30000 hours

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
