An On-Board Maintenance (OBM) plan for commercial marine vessels is a service that provides a schedule and instructions for regular maintenance tasks that need to be performed on a ship while it is in operation.
The OBM plan is typically customized to the specific needs of each vessel and takes into account factors such as the ship’s age, usage, and operating environment.
The OBM service provider will work with the ship’s crew to develop a maintenance schedule that covers all the necessary tasks such as lubrication, cleaning, and inspection of mechanical, electrical and safety equipment.
The OBM plan will also include procedures for troubleshooting and repair of any issues that may arise. This service aims to minimize downtime and ensure that the ship is always in good working condition, thereby reducing the risk of breakdowns and increasing the ship’s operational efficiency.
The OBM service provider will also provide training for the crew on how to perform the maintenance tasks and provide support in case of any technical issues.
