Abstract: This report deals with an extensive investigation into the vibratory behaviour of the propulsion system of the motorship “Koudekerk” of the United Netherlands Shipping Company. It describes the procedure of calculation, the measuring technique applied and the processing of signals; it also analyzes and interprets the results of this processing. The results of calculation and those of measurements are compared, while estimated values of unknown parameters are corrected.
