30 Experts experienced in daily implementation of naval ship maintenance contracts were involved. The current research carried out an explorative study across various engineering disciplines to generate RMN ship maintenance DIFs and their severity measures via a 3-Stage Modified Delphi approach. Despite aspiration and efforts to improve the ship availability, the Royal Malaysian Navy vessels which are currently maintained under the In Service Support Contracts are hardly tackling the human and equipment related aspects due to limited knowledge and available data on ship Downtime Influence Factors. With increased ship complexity, size and revolutionary design, organizations strive to balance ideal maintenance philosophies against ongoing efforts of cost reduction whilst maintaining high availability of vessels. Rapid development of shipbuilding and ship repair industry in recent years has been increasingly transforming the way organizations apply the long term strategic thinking of "cradle to grave" maintenance approach in order to maximize their growth in a dynamic marine industry.
