Lloyd's Maritime Academy's first Marine Machinery & Equipment Maintenance seminar offers you a comprehensive review of maintenance strategies and an in-depth analysis of how to control costs and maintain the performance and reliability of machinery and equipment onboard your ships.

This highly practical seminar will showcase the latest maintenance techniques and applications of new technologies, and examine projects that weigh the advantages of competing maintenance strategies. A panel of experts will identify ways to maximise revenues by improving overall efficiency of machinery and equipment while reducing bunker bills and complying with increasingly demanding environmental regulations.

The seminar also focuses on condition monitoring through detailed discussion and case studies pinpointing the practicalities and options available for integrating condition-based maintenance into your company's maintenance regime.
