Crane overturning is a serious and dangerous incident where the crane loses stability and tips over. This can result in severe damage to property, injury to personnel, and even fatalities. Crane overturning usually occurs due to a combination of factors, including improper load handling, equipment failure, environmental conditions, or operational errors. Causes of Crane Overturning: 1. Overloading. Exceeding the crane’s lifting capacity is one of the leading causes of overturning. When the load is too heavy, the crane can become unbalanced and tip over, especially if the weight distribution is uneven. 2. Improper Outrigger Setup. Outriggers help stabilize mobile cranes during lifting operations. If outriggers are not properly deployed or set on unstable ground (e.g., soft soil), the crane can lose stability and overturn. 3. Lifting on Uneven Ground. Operating on sloped or uneven surfaces can cause the crane to tip over as it compromises the crane's balance. 4. Swinging Loads. If the load swings excessively, particularly in high winds or due to rapid crane movement, it can cause a shift in the crane's center of gravity, leading to instability and a potential overturn. 5. Boom Mismanagement. Extending the boom too far without adjusting for the load or ground conditions can make the crane top-heavy and prone to tipping. 6. Wind or Weather Conditions: Strong winds can apply significant force to the load or the crane itself, increasing the risk of tipping. Heavy rain or soft ground can also weaken the foundation under the crane’s base. 7. Improper Load Distribution: If the load is not properly centered or secured, uneven weight distribution can shift the center of gravity and cause the crane to overturn. 8. Mechanical Failure: Malfunctioning parts like brakes, ropes, or hydraulics can lead to a loss of control, potentially resulting in an overturning accident. Preventive Measures: 1. Pre-Lift Planning. Careful planning, including understanding load weights, wind conditions, and ground stability, is crucial in preventing overturning. 2. Proper Use of Outriggers. 3. Load Monitoring. 4. Ground Conditions Assessment. 5. Wind and Weather Monitoring. 6. Training and Certification. 7. Regular Inspections and Maintenance. 8. Gradual Lifting and Movement. #LiftingOperations #Crane #SafetyFirst

Safety Alert: Mobile harbour crane cracks What happened: During routine inspections, cracks were discovered in the diagonals on the booms of two mobile harbour cranes. Key findings: Investigations concluded that the cause of the cracking was fatigue failure bought on by vortex induced vibration. Considerations for members: Those members with mobile harbour cranes may wish to consider the following actions: Regular inspections of all areas of the mobile harbour crane. Increased planned maintenance schedule to ensure that the structure is sound. Review of operation and storage procedures to ensure that the mobile harbour cranes are being utilised as intended. The above actions should all be carried out in consultation with the equipment manufacturer and relevant operating manual.

We received the request to overhaul two 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 in a short period of time ⏱. Both were in need of significant maintenance. Once Boskalis delivered them to us, we immediately got started: ◾ Full disassembly ◾ Sandblasting and recoating all parts ◾ Inspecting and replacing bearings and gears as needed ◾ Renewing bushings and seals ◾ Completely reassembling ◾ Inspecting and overhauling the hydraulics ◾ Replacing hydraulic hoses ◾ Renewing control handles After a short period, both winches were ready to be picked up. Boskalis will soon place them back on board of the Shoalway. For the overhaul of mooring winches and anchor winches, you can rely on us! #winches #mooring #maintenance

Our DRY DOCKING Service One of the main services that keeps us busy is DRY DOCKING. This is where vessels up to 100m+ come into the floating dock for Ship Repairs; the docking is generally scheduled for every few years, depending on the vessel type. Since we launched this service, we have enjoyed welcoming a variety of vessels including tug boats (even double dockings to optimising time and cost efficiency for our clients), cruise ships, transhippers, offshore support vessels and more. Occasionally we get the call for emergencies, and it’s all hands on deck to get the ship back to work. What happens during a Dry Docking? It can be all or a combination of these… - Vessel docking - Vessel wash - Blasting and painting - Aluminium, steel and composite repairs - Shafts and rudders removal and surveys - Propeller and thruster repairs - Engines removals and changes - Bearings replacements - Shipside valves removal and pressure test - Anodes replacements - Keel coolers service and repairs - Electrical repairs and modifications - Hydraulics repairs - Winches repairs - Tank cleans What makes us unique? Our Dry Docking service is run with a client-centric Project Management model that delivers optimum value AND we have a custom-made encapsulation on the dock for optimum efficiency and quality. (head over to our instagram feed to view the lego style, branded shipping container creation - we think it’s quite the sight to behold!) #silverstarmarine #drydocking #floatingdock
