Abstract: This article focuses on the advances infrared thermography as a non-contact and non-invasive condition monitoring tool as a whole and especially for the process condition-based maintenance of ships systems. Infrared thermography has become widely accepted condition monitoring the tool for various technical subjects. Running infrared thermography for condition monitoring ships systems had accepted from LLOYD as authorization diagnostic technics. Accreditation companies conduct thermography`s measures ships systems in the purposes condition-based maintenance. Technical Test Center (TTC) has begun to use termographics  screening technical systems for condition-based maintenance. For the task diagnostic measures in military ship BPN-30, TTC has realized IRT screening ship systems. Experiences in the first use IRT for diagnostics measures ship systems will be also discussed in this article.

Keywords: infrared thermography, condition-based maintenance, diagnostic measures, ship systems
