The Alatas Ship Engineering Services team based in the Middle East oversaw this IHI SS30T-28M boom repair job. The inspection and welding took place in April 2020.
Aboard one of our client’s vessels was an IHI SS30T-28M crane. Its boom hoist wire rope had failed to cause the boom to free fall and collide with the vessel’s open hatch covers.
Upon first glance during troubleshooting, the boom seemed to be unrepairable.
However the Alatas Worldwide Engineering team came up with a solution to avoid scrapping the entire boom.
The experience of our engineers meant the full boom repair procedure they submitted including material specifications, risk assessment and method statements was approved by the Class NK.
