Before going on holiday, David Jones carried out some surveys for yacht insurers in Greece.
Simon Groves visited California and surveyed one of the few surviving steam containerships belonging to a large fleet.
On steam vessels unlike a motor vessels, there is not a running hours regime of carrying out maintenance to engine components. Here it is a matter of monitoring the steam plant for the maintenance required, heat balance, thermal imaging and vibration monitoring are used.
