The article describes the analysis of the ship systems’ reliability at the stage of the technical design, which is based on the reliability data of individual system elements and mathematical methods of reliability theory. During the ship operation maintenance deficiencies can lead to the equipment failure, which can be prevented by the methods of instrumental diagnostics of system elements, maintenance repairs regardless of the current technical condition, and classification inspection during the ship operation. Collecting the detailed data on changes in the functional reliability of ship mechanical systems, which could confirm or deny the advantages of each of the existing methods is not enough. There has been carried out collecting, processing and analyzing the actual data on the life cycles of various pumps of ship systems at different stages of service life, as well as beyond the designated service life or operating time. There are examined the general ship systems and auxiliary power units of icebreakers and floating structures. The examined equipment has standard pumps with different capacity and efficiency. Service life, assigned resource (operating time), frequency of repair are taken as the criteria of pump reliability and durability. There have been shown the actual life cycles of pumps in dependence of the service life in years on the operating time in hours; in addition, data on the passage of maintenance repairs, maintenance, inspection of the technical condition, as well as replacement or extension of the service life are plotted on the graphs. It has been inferred that some of the pumps in the ship's systems should be replaced before the full resource was developed, while the performance of the systems as a whole was preserved or restored as a result of repairs; some pumps have exceeded their specified resource, but during the technical inspection their operation was extended, the operability of the systems was also preserved.
