Marine Safety Forum – Safety Flash 13-11
Issued: 25th March 2013 Subject: Parting of a Crane Wire
The crane on-board an Offshore Vessel was being used to prepare the Dacon Scoop for an Exercise. It was whilst lifting the Dacon scoop the crane wire parted causing the scoop to be dropped outside the vessel. This was partially due to the malfunction of the crane limiter switch, but also an over reliance on the safety devices fitted to all on-board cranes. On investigation it was found that:
1. The operator selected to drive the crane
that day was certified as being competent.
2. The crane was not fully function tested
prior to use, safety devices not tested.
3. Safety devices not part of the monthly
planned maintenance system.
4. An over reliance on the fitted safety
devices to stop the operation.
Ensure that your ship specific procedure and & Risk Assessment reflects the CSWP 21.2.8.
Safety device checks to be added as part of the monthly vessel planned maintenance.
Be alert at all times with the hazard involved in all lifting operations.
Operators to be assessed on a more regular basis to demonstrate practical operational
competence.
