Preparation of data to identify the causes of failures of ship hulls and ship technical equipment

The article discusses issues of solving problems and formalizing the procedure for identifying the root causes of failures of ship hulls and ship technical equipment using combined methods and approaches. Failures are systematized according to the nature of their occurrence into gradual, sudden, complex. Considered the use of the RCA (Root Cause Analysis) process to find out what exactly happened?, why did it happen?, what needs to be done to reduce the likelihood of it happening again? An analysis of the main tools was carried out to identify the root causes of failures. A scheme for developing measures that influence the physical root cause of failure is presented, on the basis of which a strategy for maintaining ship hulls and ship technical equipment is formed. The practical goal of the work is to solve the problem of identifying the root causes of failures and technical deficiencies and developing measures aimed at eliminating and preventing similar failures in the future, as well as changing repair strategies based on the analysis and conclusions of the analysis of the root causes of failures.
