One insight from The Swedish Club’s technical report stands out:
📊 around 55% of auxiliary engine failures occur shortly after overhaul.
These are not random events. The most common drivers are:
- incorrect assembly of critical components
- non-calibrated hydraulic tools
- deviations from manufacturer procedures
- poor lubrication oil management
- insufficient engine-specific crew training
The takeaway is straightforward:
👉 maintenance done “almost right” is often riskier than no maintenance at all.
