Factors affecting the normal operation of the ship

Author:


In the process of operation, the ship is often subjected to the action of various external forces, plus the influence of human factors, deformation and damage will occur, so that the ship loses its normal technical condition, the reasons for which are roughly the following aspects.

1. External force is constantly subjected to bending stress and torsional stress on the waves because the ship is often in the state of movement such as lifting, swaying and turning.

2. Corrosion of metal is a natural loss that happens all the time.

3. Man-made effect is due to the improper use and management of the ship and the occurrence of accidents such as sea damage. The above is tangible damage, which can be restored to the normal technical condition of the ship after repair.

4. Intangible loss is due to the progress of science and technology, which makes the technical condition of the ship become old and backward and needs to be rebuilt, renewed or scrapped.

Due to the above reasons, the ship generates different degrees of attrition and damage in the process of operation, which affects the normal technical condition of the ship and gradually affects the normal operation of the ship and brings threat to the safety of the ship. Therefore, repairs are needed to eliminate these defects, maintain and restore the normal technical condition, and prevent the continued wear and tear of various components of the ship.
