Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component service life notifying device configured to notify, beforehand, a service life of a component is provided to prevent the service life of the component from terminating on the sea. The navigation device (component service life notifying device) includes a route setting module, a navigation time calculating module, a service life acquiring module, and a notifying module. The route setting module sets a route for navigation. The navigation time calculating module calculates a scheduled navigation time period of the route. The service life acquiring module acquires an estimated service life of the component. A comparing module outputs a comparison result between the scheduled navigation time period to a predetermined destination of the route set by the route setting module and the estimated remaining service life. The notifying module notifies a situation that the comparison result outputted from the comparing module indicates that the estimated remaining service life is shorter than the scheduled navigation time period when the situation occurs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
