Narrative:

En route to sfo from maui, the right engine developed vibration. Power was reduced to the engine, vibration was reduced from approximately 2.6 to 1.7-1.9 company maintenance and dispatch notified. Maintenance suggested shutting engine down if vibration level increased to high level again. Aircraft was past the point of equal time so continued to sfo. Power was increased to other engine. Altitude and speed maintained. ATC notified and a clearance direct to sfo was obtained. Partial power approach at sfo was uneventful, WX was 900 ft overcast, light winds, emergency equipment standing by. Landing was uneventful. Upon shutdown engine appeared to fail and freeze up.
