In today’s environment, generating revenues for any industry is important. Profit
margins are shrinking and often the difference between a profit and a loss can be as
simple as preventing loss and improving efficiencies. Therefore this study intend to
aid in maintenance cost of RV Discovery by bringing an optimize way to do
maintenance involves the short-term and long-term maintenance. The ability of a
vessel to operate depends on the ability of the ship main propulsion produces optimum
power and translated through the transmission system to the propeller shaft. Marine
diesel engine is the prime mover, which is synonymous in the shipping industry. Most
important of criterion for boost the profit margin are the reliability, availability, repair,
installation costs, operating costs, flexible and engine size. Failure to optimize the
performance of the engine will tremendously reduce the profit margin.
