This study was directed toward identifying unique maintenance and repair requirements in terms of manpower and materials for coal-fired steam turbine propulsion plant ships. The method of approach included surveys of industrial and marine coal-fired plant operators and coal-firing equipment manufacturers to obtain a data base of manpower and material requirements for a range of plant sizes and operating scenarios. A national coal-fired plant was then developed and the maintenance data base adapted to the marine coal-fired system. From this information, required crew manpower was determined and compared to typical oil-fired systems and associated manpower availability evaluated. Material and contract manpower costs were assessed and parametric data developed to allow potential operators to estimate daily maintenance and repair costs.
