CRANEAGE OPERATION PROCEDURE & SAFETY MEASURES

 





Have you ever been on a vessel with a crane? Even if so, this article might be enlightening to you. ship cranes are all the same except in terms of capacity, as some outperform others.






Modern-day cargo vessels and some tug boats have cranes installed on them due to the need to load and offload material from one ship to another without any incident. That's why we have crane officers who use the so-called sign language International known in the marine industry in operation with the crane operator as a guide on how to execute a successful craneage operation.


3.1 some problems encountered Before the craneage operation

Before any operation is usually carried out, a toolbox talk is carried on to discuss with the team involved on how they will carry out the job with respect to the JHA (Job hazards analysis) and how to avoid or prevent them or how to move on in case it still occurs. The job is analyzed most of the time based on; health, efficiency, and effectiveness, sanitation, proper or complete PPE's, and any life safety equipment needed due to weather conditions.


3.2 Application of JHA and solutions in Craneage operation (During)

During the craneage operation, only those that are properly still should be within the operational zone. The crane operator should be able to understand and execute all craneage sign language practices given by the crane officer of his vessel before and after the command is handed over to another vessel's crane officer. The package should be well lashed by the operation team then hook to the crane for its transportation. Most of the time due to the tension in the area where the hold and crane hook meet. The is always a possibility of breakage because;

1. The containment was over loaded

2. The containment material is weak

3. The containment material has corroded due to the effect of acid of flammable chemicals.


In such cases, it's preferable to reduce the number of materials in the containment or better still double the containment materials.






3.3 Application after the craneage operation is maintenance checks such as if the hydraulic system is experiencing leakage.

    Hello, I for one have worked with a crane officer and it's not an all talk as you say it is. Six people died during one of our crane operation in south Korea and over twenty where injured when a crane collapsed at a Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea.

Alpha Hawk and RT MARGO work hand in hand to remove Milaha Explorer from jetty at CNIC LIMBE

 1400hour LT Cameroon - Limbe, Milaha Explorer vessel requested assistance to get out of the jetty of CNIC LIMBE. Two vessels namely Alpha Hawk and RT MARGO assisted this event. The process was simple in theory but complex in practice. Nevertheless, Milaha Explorer was removed successfully and towed its way out of the key. This exploit was performed by Cameroonian Seafarer who gave it their all in achieving this task with efficiency and effectiveness.  Towing the ship was through the difficult part.         M.V Alpha Hark and RT Margo had to pull the vessel at its port and starboard respectively. If not the vessel might have rolled horizontally into the Sea. RT MARGO had to lash their rope for a few meters to reduce the tension in the rope; this safety measure is not taken by most towing vessels at sea and thus, we find cases like the vessels back lass destroying a part of the vessel or in the worst scenario ending someone's life. You can see from the picture or videos seafarers in

Connection| Potential| Ambition

Given all that was and what is to come, a common word links them all. The work connection. An ability to provide information of all shapes and kind to none common sense sigma. This ability existed long before the creation of mankind.  In the world we leave today, 3 things matter the most for a successful career. There are as follows; Connections It can be viewed in two or more ways but, I know of two only beings; YOU KNOW WHO AND WHO KNOWS. Most of us got to thank our parents, relatives or many other unknown characters that help us achieve our goals behind closes doors. Most opportunities like travelling abroad were preorganized before we even had the time to say, "Why". Knowing different people, cultures and breaking past language barriers has proven to be a source of opportunity to achieve even greater dreams over the sky . For example, a poor boy can only dream below his ceiling which is what is imaginary and real to reach but is also impossible from where they are now. Th

FRIENDSHIP

                                   Merry Christmas, Dear Friendly Society And Happy New Year Once again, I will like to thank all of you guys for the warm support of viewing my BLOG /channel these past few months generating over 5k views time. Moreover, it is December the Christmas season of the year, where the beach are dazzling with goodies of all shapes and sizes. A period where saved money is spend and where spent money is saved. Most of us are waiting for a friend or two to visit or even take us out. But forget that, love is 50%-50% on each side of the coin and without proper invitations and meaningful connections, it is possible no one will show up. Friends come and go in different times of our life. Some stay too long and others leave too soon. But one thing in common, we share most is wonderful memories of the time we spend together with each other. Just like the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening.  In the movies, where you see two good friends end up being enemie
