The generator onboard, being the powerhouse of the ship, requires regular maintenance and overhauling to ensure efficient and safe operations. A responsible marine engineer will never wait to carry out maintenance procedures until its machinery is on the edge of a breakdown. Instead, he/she will take all necessary precautions to prevent his ship from any impending troubles, which can take place because of engine room machinery failure or breakdown.
There is a thin line between the starting of a problem and the problem taking the shape of a major issue. It is only a ship’s engineer who can assess this situation.
Still, cases are observed every year wherein the auxiliary engine breakdown occurs even after giving several indications, foreboding the unfortunate.
