The aforementioned difficulty to get more and detailed information seems to be unreasonable. On the other hand there are understandable arguments of the owners not to publish defects happened on their ship's machinery.

But taking into account that more detailed knowledge about damage occurrences could help to improve the efficiency of security equipment, could this not be a financial equilibration due to not occurred accidents?

Therefore all users of large Diesel Engines on ships, power plants or anywhere else are encouraged not to hesitate, to contribute their experienced knowledge for helping to their own advantage.
