5.3 Definitions

5.0 Offshore Cranes: a lifting appliance mounted on a vessel, used for lifting and moving cargo, equipment, supplies and other loads under the environmental conditions while the vessel is at open sea and/or when there may be motion relative to the other vessel during crane operations.

5.0 Shipboard Cranes: lifting appliances mounted on surface-type vessels, used for lifting and moving loads of less than 160 tf (1570 kN, 352800 lbf) such as cargo, containers, equipment and other loads; or for handling hoses, while the vessel is within a harbor or sheltered area under mild environmental conditions.

5.0 Per References 2.1.1, 2-7/9 and the bearing manufacturer’s instructions, Rocking Tests are to be taken every six months. The results of these tests are to be recorded in the Register of Lifting Appliances for review by the attending ABS surveyor at each annual survey.

6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQIREMENTS: None additional.

7.0 Coordinate the inspection and testing of equipment with the OMT REP to ensure the vessel is always aware of system status until the work is completed.

7.0 Provide and support OEM Appleton Marine technician to Conduct the Annual inspections, maintenance and testing of the ships deck crane shown Enclosures 2.2.1 using References 2.1.1 through 2.1.3 as guidance.

7.3.2 Replace Crane Hoses as required per Enclosure 2.2.2. The hoses will need to be supplied as CFM and are not required to be provided by the OEM. However, the hoses provided must meet all the specs and be pressure tested to the same specs as stated in Enclosure 2.2.2.

7.3.2.1 All hoses shall be tagged with stainless ID tags to identify test pressure and date of test. Provide test certifications to MSCREP.

7.3.2.2 Ensure all hoses are blown out to remove foreign material and capped for transport to the ship.

7.0 Perform a flush on all disturbed hydraulic systems. Flush shall be witnessed by ships force. Refill with new contractor provided hydraulic fluid upon completion of flush.

7.0 Conduct an inspection of the equipment listed in Enclosure 2.2.1. The examination shall include:

7.0 Visual inspection of the entire crane structure for deformation, excessive wear, corrosion, damage or fractures, as necessary. To include the boom rest. The boom is to be lowered for this examination. Temporarily remove the manhole access cover located at the base of the crane and inspect interior of crane.

7.0 Visual inspection and nondestructive testing of crane hooks for fractures.

7.0 The slewing ring is to be examined for slack bolts, damaged bearings and deformation or fractured weldments (where applicable).

7.0 Visual external examination and operational test of crane machinery including hydraulics, prime mover, clutches, brakes, clutches, sheaves; hoisting, slewing and luffing machinery. Check all oil levels and for leaks.

7.0 Visual inspection of sheaves, rope guides and wire rope including end attachments. The wire rope is not to be used if in any length of ten diameters:

7.0 The total number of visible broken wires exceeds 5 percent of the total number of wires,

7.0 If there is more than one broken wire immediately adjacent to an end fitting,

7.0 If the broken wires are concentrated in one area or one strand, or

7.0 If the rope shows signs of excessive wear, corrosion, flattening, kinks, separation of the strands or wires, core failures or other defect which renders it unfit for use.

7.0 Visual inspection of the Operator’s cab or station, controls, windows, and communications.

7.0 Where the crane is approved for varying capacities, verify that a crane capacity rating chart indicating the maximum SWL are conspicuously posted near the controls and visible to the operator.

7.0 Immediately report any adverse conditions noted to the OMT REP. The report is to include photographs for record purposes.

7.0 Conduct maintenance on the cranes using the manufacturers design, installation, maintenance instructions and service bulletins as guidance. The maintenance includes/verifies:
