LIEBHERR DECK CRANES – Complete refurbishmeNt and overhauL

BACKGROUND

The vessel is over 10 years old and is undergoing its 2nd special survey during drydocking in Singapore. The ship is equipped with 4 units of Liebherr cylinder luffing deck cranes type CBW with a lifting capacity of 45 tons.

An operator cabin changeout was planned as well.
