Preventive maintenance helps reduce the risk of equipment breakdown at sea but cannot eliminate it entirely. Climate, temperature and vibration can all cause an air conditioning system, refrigeration plant, fire-fighting system or other crucial onboard equipment to break down.

When this happens, the first priority is to get the equipment operating with minimal disruption to the vessel's schedule.
