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.

Safety first 🗣👤🌊

 It's not the first time a seafarer or someone falls from the ship into the ocean without a safety jacket. Still, we should be where that, not all falls guarantee safe come back.  As an officer, pilot and rating. We should make it a habit to always follow safety procedures except unorthodox circumstances show up. From the picture above you can see that the seafarer recently used the gangway to come down to the ladder before exiting the ship to the other vessel whose aim was to pick him/her up no matter the reason. All safety steps taken up till that point seemed safe and professional.  As we know but refuse to admit it, "Small changes/mistakes/corrections affected big conclusive results". Still from the picture, you can see that the sea level is not the best and it will be hard to hold to one's stability; if you were to stand in a vessel with less stability than the one you were on.  Nevertheless, before his/her fall without the safety jacket. If he/she held on to th...

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...

Welcome Back Comrades

The reopening 🇨🇲🇬🇲🇬🇭🇱🇷🇸🇱 It is a new day, it's a new life... As of January, most marine academies around the world were given a green card of access by their respective country president which came well with a lot of rules concerning the vitality and safety of both the student and civilians involved. As for Africa as a whole, symptoms of the COVID-19 virus have been more of talk and no see. We can say the nation as a whole is doing a pretty great job. Some rumors claim that the newly installed 5G system cuz this pandemic due to the installation side effects of the radiative waves; the world as you know can't be destroyed by mere tricks but, that doesn't mean your world is. Politic is a field of pride and conning people who play a game of what-ifs. It's indeed cruel when the effects aren't in favor of the innocent; who decided that? For in a world such as this one, the strong devour the weak to gain more strength. In other words, imagine, I own a company (A...

A Moment Of Happiness

Hi ladies and Gentlemen,                                             Still in the early era of Corona virus. Covered with vast deaths and tiers from our love once. Hope for things to get better gradually failed. School of the Maritime industry are sinking monthly. Students semester fees seem to be lost money. Parent as well as individual are having a hard time managing themselves. Near to 90% of the world's population don't make money during this crisis; literally people are either living on borrowed loan, saving, charity services by other on the average wager. However, when all hope seems to be lost like a niddle in a grass field. The Maritime School seem to have found a solution to solve only their crisis for the year to come. By providing online course. Studies online secured by private channels. Although, I doubt fresh men will be given such previlage. Only students wi...
