Lloyd's Register, (LR), is a leading international Classification Society with objectives of enhancing its clients' quality, safety, environmental and business performance. In support of these objectives LR maintains technical Rules and Regulations for classification of ships and installed machinery, including engines and turbochargers. LR's Rules for diesel engines and turbochargers stem from the International Association of Classification Societies' (IACS) Unified Requirements. This paper provides the perspective of a Classification Society on marine exhaust gas turbochargers and marine diesel engine crankshaft and running gear. The following are addressed: The most common recurring in-service defects and their incidence statistics over the past decade for exhaust gas turbochargers, crankshaft and running gear on the main propulsion 2-stroke, 4-stroke and auxiliary diesel engines. Failure investigation case-studies related to turbochargers and marine diesel engine crankshafts and running gear are presented as examples of the above. Finally, overall conclusions are drawn based on the information presented affecting exhaust gas turbochargers, engine crankshafts and running gear.
