Sammendrag
Machinery or mechanical equipment needs to be maintained in order to function properly. Whether it's a massive machine or small machine, appropriate maintenance can aid it last longer and create better outcomes. Maintenance on a ship keeps the machinery up to date and working smoothly. This study focuses on effective maintenance practices on-board Nigeria ships and develops a framework to avoid lapses in effective maintenance practice on-board ships in Nigerian water. After thorough research, the study has revealed that effective maintenance is not well practiced on board ships on Nigerian water and improved maintenance has significant effect on prolonged life of ships.
Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made by the researcher:
i. Schedule routine preventative maintenance should be practiced to enhance effective maintenance practices on-board ships in Nigerian water
ii. Improving inspection process should be practiced to enhance effective maintenance practices on-board ships in Nigerian water
iii. Optimizing inventory management system should be practiced to enhance effective maintenance practices on-board ships in Nigerian water
iv. Tracking operations data through electronic reports should be ensured to enhance effective maintenance practices on-board ships in Nigerian water
v. Insurance companies should be compelled to insure vessels, in order to enhance effective maintenance practices on-board ships in Nigerian water
vi. Flag state (NIMASA) to ensure that standard maintenance policies are followed on ship sailing in Nigeria water
vii. NIMASA monitoring teams should avoid compromising with the master of ship or shipping operators.
