Determinant Preventive Maintenance Practices for Offshore Industrial Vessels Operations in Nigeria

Öz

Issues related to the maintenance of industrial vessels for offshore oil and gas operations is crucial for ensuring the prevention of sudden breakdown incident of vessels engaged in servicing the logistics needs of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. It used a qualitative research approach using survey design method in which questionnaire and checklist were used as survey instruments to elicit the responses of operators of industrial vessels on the extent of use and significances of seven basic preventive maintenance practices identified through critical literature review, on the extent of influence of each preventive maintenance activity/practice in achieving reduced breakdown incident rates of offshore industrial vessels. The preventive maintenance practices identified include: Routine Cleaning of equipment and parts (RCE), Lubrication (LUB), Precision balancing (PRB), adherence to oil check/change schedules (OCS), accurate alignments (ACA), laser detuning/resonating (LDR), and Analysis of equipment lubricating oil quality and system (AELOS). Primary data on the extent and significance of use of each of the preventive maintenance activities were obtained from the industrial vessel operators in Nigeria’s offshore sector using purposive random sampling technique. The data obtained was analyzed by the use of principal component factor analysis (PCA) in order to determine the determinant preventive maintenance practices. The results reveal that the determinant industrial vessel preventive maintenance operations by industrial vessel operators to limit the rate of sudden breakdown of industrial vessels include lubrication, accurate alignment, and adherence to oil change schedules, routine cleaning and precision balancing; with each having Eigenvalues of 2.456, 1.258, 1.245, 1.059 and 1.001. Since the identified preventive maintenance operations have Eigenvalues >1), the study infers that they constitute the detainment industrial vessel preventive maintenance operations/activities in the Nigerian offshore sector. It was recommended that offshore industrial vessel operators should prioritize the implementation of the determinant preventive maintenance practices on offshore industrial vessels in Nigeria.
