Lloyd’s Register has produced a Maintenance Guide Checklist for use of owners and operators of cargo ships. This list is provided to owners for guidance purposes only and is intended to supplement their own operation and maintenance procedures. The list has been compiled from analysis of port State control reported deficiencies.

The choice of the terms and sewords listed is that they are in use on board commercial ships and should be part of the general knowledge of shipping office, deck or engine officers, among many others. Terms and abbreviations are permanently changing, errors are often found even in the most famous BA publications (ie: IBC Code). Therefore this list will be constantly updated, time and resources available, and the source(s) of the information will be mentioned when available. www.maritimeterms.com
