ISO 20154:2017的目的是根据船用机械（例如辅助发动机、压缩机、风扇、泵、，一个设计良好的隔振系统可以显著降低从船上机械到船舶结构的振动传递，降低船上的噪声水平或船舶辐射的水下噪声。

The purpose of ISO 20154:2017 is to provide general guidelines on the design of ship vibration isolation based on the basic methodology of vibration isolation for shipboard machinery, for example, auxiliary engine, compressor, fan, pump, etc. A well-designed vibration isolation system can significantly reduce the vibration transmission from shipboard machinery to ship structures lowering the noise level onboard the ship or the underwater noise radiated from the ship.
