Object and purpose of research. Analysis and investigation of ship delivery-acceptance tests. Materials and methods. Current procedures of delivery-acceptance tests for ships and vessels. Main results. This paper outlines the main drawback of delivery-acceptance test procedure for ships: this procedure does not take into account technical condition of ship equipment and only measures functional parameters of her propulsion system. Accordingly, a ship in poor technical condition may well pass acceptance tests satisfactorily. Lamentable proofs of this fact are frequent faulties and failures of ships newly built or just after repair. This study suggests an improvement of delivery-acceptance tests based on application of new diagnostic equipment and tools that make sure that the ship is in good order indeed and, most importantly, give a reference model for technical condition of equipment. Practical application of this reference model will not only become the basis of progressive ship testing but will also be helpful in transition to operation of ships and vessel based on their actual technical condition. Conclusion. This paper improves theoretical principles of delivery-acceptance tests of ships and vessels based on new information technologies that enable implementation of progressive test program and yield a tangible and meaningful feedback between ship operators, yards and scientists.
