This standard contains guidelines for limiting the machinery and operating equipment vibration on board ships for the purposes of habitability and mechanical suitability. The mechanical guidelines result in a suitable environment for installed equipment and precludes many major vibration problems such as unbalance, misalignment, or other damage to the machinery and operating equipment.
