A probabilistic maintenance and repair analysis of the desk plates of bulk carriers and tankers subjected to general corrosion wastage is presented here. The decisions about when to perform maintenance and repair on structure that may reach a failed state are studied. Different practical scenarios are analyzed and optimum repair intervals are proposed. The optimum repair age and intervals are based on a Weibull analysis. The total cost is calculated in normalized form to avoid the difficulties in costing. A comparative analysis of the maintenance planning for different types and lengths of ship is also provided.
