  • Accident and Disaster Recovery and Repairs

    Crane damage typically occurs as a result of:

    • A moving vessel colliding with a quay crane
    • A moving part of the crane striking a part of a ship
    • Strong wind gusts during operations causing cranes to collide or collapse
    • Exceptional weather or geologic conditions, such as typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunami, etc.

    Accident repair consists of two phases:

    1.    Survey and salvage
    • Includes survey and damage assessment and temporary bracing and reinforcements to stabilize the crane and prevent further damage
    2.   Recovery and repair
    • Includes submitting proposals for repairs, insurance and port authority approvals, and performing the repairs to quickly restore full operations
