船舶可靠性是一个复杂的课题.想用一个总准则来估计船舶的可靠性和安全性是很困难的,但我们可以先对船舶的某些设备和运行性能提出一些可靠性指标.目前,船舶可靠性的研究尚处幼年时期,没有什么成熟的经验可供借鉴.本文对如何在我国开展这方面的工作提出了一些看法,并认为在研究工作开展之前,收集整理我国船队的运行数据是十分重要的. Ship reliability is a complex subject, and it is difficult to estimate the reliability and safety of the ship using a general guideline, but some reliability indicators can be put forward for some equipment and operational performance of the ship.At present, Reliability studies are still in their infancy, there is no mature experience for reference.This paper put forward some views on how to carry out this work in our country, and think that before the research work, collect and organize the operational data of our fleet is Very important.
