Complex formulation of the availability of sea transport means

Abstract

Availability of the transport means, both reparable and unreparable, was presented in the aspect of their preparation for using in accordance with their destination, provided that at a random time instant of calling for an arbitrary task they are in the technical state which makes its realization possible with a given probability. In the case of the reparable means the probability is identical with the technical availability factor. The semi-Markov process theory was applied to exemplify determination of the factor.
