The invention relates to a method for managing maintenance for a ship comprising a sealed and thermally insulating tank for transporting liquefied gas. The method comprises the steps consisting in determining 310 a current filling level of the tank, determining 320 a current state of movement of the ship, determining 330 a current sloshing index IBi from the current filling level of the tank and the current state of movement of the ship, taking into account the position and the geometry of the tank, integrating 340 the determined current sloshing index IBi into a wear index IUi that takes into account a history of the sloshing indices. The wear index is then compared to a threshold in order to indicate if the tank needs to be inspected, depending on the result of the comparison.
