It
is extremely difficult to obtain entire statistical
information about damage cases on the aforementioned
components.
The
only available trustworthy source could be found at
Lloyd's
Register of Shipping, London.
From
this information could be roughly deduced 4.000 damage
cases p.a. as mentioned under assumption of a 20% share
of LRS by IACS classed ships.
Taken
into account the assumed net repair costs of 25.000
US$ average for each damage case a total amount of 100.000.000
US$ have to be deplored.
With this amount incredible 10.000 engines could have
been protected.
It
seems that this assessment is surely closer to the lower
level of assumptions.
