Methods for Quay Crane Discharge from Ship to Shore
Discharging quay cranes from a ship to the port requires careful planning and precision due to the crane’s significant weight and size. Quay cranes typically weigh between 600 to 1,000 tons and have a high center of gravity, making proper load distribution critical to avoid damage to the port structure.
Key Procedures:
- Brace removal: Dismantling the braces that secure the crane to the ship is a meticulous process, requiring attention to detail in tight spaces.
- Load distribution: Given the enormous weight of quay cranes, one of the most critical tasks is ensuring that the load is properly distributed to avoid overloading the port’s structure during the discharge process.
- Ballasting the ship: To maintain stability, the mother ship is balanced using a ballast pump system throughout the discharge operation, preventing any risks of capsizing or imbalance.
Discharge Methods:
- Rail system combined with a winch: This is the safest and most cost-effective method, where the crane is carefully moved using a rail system.
- Self-propelled hydraulic trailer (SPMT): This option allows for greater flexibility and is often used in situations where time is of the essence.
The choice of method depends on the specific requirements and conditions of each port, but PLC always ensures the safest and most efficient approach.
Quay Crane Discharge from Shore to Ship
Transferring quay cranes from shore back onto a ship is a complex process, often required when cranes are being moved between ports due to production or logistical changes. PLC utilizes specialized equipment such as the self-propelled hydraulic trailer system (SPMT) for quick and efficient crane discharge, ensuring minimal downtime for the client.
