Move from reactive to Condition-Based Maintenance and increase equipment reliability, decrease unplanned downtime, and reduce Opex. Hardware failures are the root cause of almost half of unplanned downtime events – considerably reducing your operational uptime and resulting in significant profit losses. No matter your vessel type, Kongsberg Maritime's Condition Monitoring Solution (K-CMS) provides both crew and management with actionable information on the condition of your vital onboard equipment: Improved sustainability through reduced fuel consumption and emissions K-CMS is our holistic, class-approved solution for the condition-based maintenance (CBM) of all the critical rotating machinery onboard your vessel. It’s underpinned by our comprehensive knowledge of sensor technology, high-speed processing technology, and secure data handling, delivering: Our Health Management Service places certified specialists with deep domain expertise in the loop to verify findings and give valuable, targeted recommendations. Together with K-CMS, our experts help you to better manage and predict maintenance and optimise the performance of all your critical equipment. Harnessing our extensive knowledge of the whole value chain, we build fully integrated hardware and software solutions that work with the way you work Deep domain expertiseHarnessing our extensive knowledge of the whole value chain, we build fully integrated hardware and software solutions that work with the way you work Monitors all equipment critical to your operations, including 3rd party machinery, within one holistic platform – leveraging highly scalable technologies to provide an overview of your vessels and fleets

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Sensor drift on vibration, temperature and pressure transmitters, leading to false alarms or missed trends
  • Network/communication faults between remote I/O units and the central monitoring server
  • Software/firmware version mismatches after a partial system upgrade
  • Alarm flooding from unfiltered nuisance alarms masking a genuine fault
  • Loss of historical trend data from server storage or backup failure
  • Calibration drift on accelerometers used for vibration-based condition monitoring
  • UPS/backup power failure on the monitoring server interrupting continuous logging

Inspection checklist

  • Verify sensor readings against independent local instruments as a spot-check on calibration
  • Test the alarm system function, including audible/visual alarms on the bridge and in the ECR
  • Check historical trend data for continuity and gaps
  • Verify UPS/backup power function for the monitoring server
  • Check network/communication status between remote I/O and the central system
  • Review the alarm log for unacknowledged or suppressed alarms
  • Confirm software/firmware version consistency across the system
  • Verify the data backup routine is running and backups are retrievable

Service intervals

Sensor calibration checktypically annual, or per the maker's/class recommendation for the specific transducer type
System backup verificationtypically monthly
Software/firmware update reviewper the maker's release schedule, typically reviewed annually
Alarm system function testtypically at each class survey and per the ship's SMS-defined interval

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Critical spares

  • Spare sensors/transmitters for critical monitoring points (vibration, temperature, pressure), matched to the installed type
  • Spare remote I/O module/card per the maker's parts list
  • UPS battery replacement for the monitoring server

Safety

  • A condition monitoring system is not a safety system in itself - it should not replace a required alarm/shutdown system unless specifically class-approved to do so
  • False confidence from an uncalibrated or drifting sensor can delay detection of a genuine fault - treat a sudden 'improvement' in a trend with suspicion
  • System changes or software updates should be tested before being relied upon operationally

Class survey

Where the condition monitoring system supports a machinery survey scheme based on condition rather than fixed intervals, class will want documented calibration records, retained trend data, and evidence that alarm limits are reviewed and justified. Where the alarm/monitoring function is integrated with the vessel's approved alarm and safety system, it is subject to periodic testing per the ship's approved test schedule.

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.
