In new ship construction, maintenance planning affords both an opportunity and a challenge. On one hand, a new ship class enables maintenance planners to start with a clean slate and consider improved and more cost-effective maintenance methods. On the other hand, new manning concepts, lack of timely technical information when maintenance planning is conducted in parallel with detail design, use of equipment new to the fleet, and the like impose a measure of uncertainty on the planning process. This paper reviews why and how RCM techniques (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) were applied to the new Polar icebreaker U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (CGC) Healy (frontispiece). It is reviewed how condition-based maintenance techniques are incorporated where appropriate. The decision process is discussed used for fine-tuning the MPC (Maintenance Procedure Cards) for CGC Healy's hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) Preventive Maintenance Manual. Finally, some lessons are shared learned in the process.
