Abstract
Among various modes of transportation, maritime transportation holds critical importance since it provides substantial carrying capacity with low unit costs. To perform seamless and efficient operations in maritime transportation plays a pivotal role in achieving sustainable development goals and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets. The execution of uninterrupted operations can only be carried out with the existence of reliable systems. Creating reliable systems onboard is possible through the implementation of planned and proactive maintenance strategies and leveraging experiences gained from past failures. 10-year failure records of bulk carriers have been scrutinized within the scope of system reliability to determine critical equipment and units. The data has been categorized into subgroups under four fundamental headings, and subsequent reliability analyses have been conducted on each subgroup. Within the subgroups, the reliability of navigation equipment should be improved since it has the highest failure rate and its malfunction can cause very serious marine accidents. This equipment is followed by fire-fighting systems, cargo equipment, and GMDSS instruments which are essential for ship operations based on reliability results. Therefore, regular failure records, planned and proactive maintenance strategies, and also extra efforts should be performed on this equipment to ensure sustainable and seamless operations in the maritime sector.
