Kongsberg Self-Assessment

Many vessels and charterers have schedules that do not always allow time for a dedicated service technician to do service inspections onboard the vessel.

Kongsberg have developed a Self-Assessment system for deck machinery and motion control products that enables an easy and intuitive check of the equipment that can be carried out by regular crew on the ship, while in service. At the same time this ensures correct maintenance and extra learning-by-doing for the crew onboard the vessel.

Understanding the condition of equipment is vital to ensure that it is always ready for service, throughout its entire lifecycle. Kongsberg Self-Assessment gives the shipowner the ability to self diagnose and get recommendations to do preventative maintenance to minimize risk of a system breakdown and vessel downtime. 

When Self-Assessment has been completed, the shipowner receives a detailed report of the inspected equipment, including equipment condition, recommendations for spare parts, overhauls and possible or mandatory upgrades.
