Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Class surveyors typically focus on the engine's overall condition, cleanliness, and adherence to maintenance schedules. Key checks include: verification of logbook entries and maintenance records (running hours, oil analysis, service history); operational test including start-up, stable running, and load acceptance; functionality of all safety devices (overspeed trip, low lube oil pressure shutdown, high cooling water temperature shutdown); integrity of fuel and lubrication systems (no leaks, proper filtration, emergency shut-off); condition of exhaust system (insulation, leaks, spark arrestor if fitted); security of engine mountings and foundations; and verification of alarm and monitoring system functionality. Special attention is given to the common rail system's integrity due to high pressures.
Estimated lifetime: 18,000 - 25,000 hours before major overhaul (assuming proper maintenance and MGO operation)
