Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Cylinder liner wear - formation of wear ridge at top of liner, potential piston ring breakage
  • Fuel system leaks and contamination, particularly with MGO and HFO
  • Excessive vibration due to imbalance or misalignment of the crankshaft or camshaft
  • Lubrication system failures, including oil pump malfunction and filter clogging
  • Cooling system issues, such as leaks or corrosion in the heat exchangers
  • Turbocharger fouling or failure, reducing engine performance and efficiency
  • Exhaust valve problems, including seat wear and guide wear

Inspection checklist

  • Cylinder head and valve condition
  • Piston and ring condition
  • Crankshaft and camshaft alignment and wear
  • Fuel system filters and injectors
  • Lubrication system oil quality and filter condition
  • Cooling system leaks and corrosion
  • Turbocharger condition and performance
  • Exhaust system condition and emissions
  • Engine mountings and vibration dampers
  • Electrical system condition and functionality

Critical spares

  • Cylinder liners
  • Piston rings
  • Fuel injectors
  • Turbocharger components
  • Lubrication system pumps and filters
  • Cooling system heat exchangers
  • Exhaust valve spindles and seats
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearings

Safety

  • Risk of fuel leakage and fire
  • Risk of electrical shock from faulty electrical systems
  • Risk of injury from moving parts and high-pressure systems
  • Risk of asphyxiation from exhaust gas leaks
  • Risk of environmental damage from oil spills or emissions

Class survey

The class surveyor will typically check the engine's condition, performance, and maintenance records to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and classification society rules. This includes verification of the engine's power output, fuel consumption, and emissions, as well as inspection of the engine's major components, such as the cylinders, pistons, and turbochargers.

Estimated lifetime: 30000-40000 hours

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
