1. Review the equipment and history
Identify the crane, affected functions, recent faults, previous repairs and outstanding recommendations. Supply alarm descriptions and nameplate photographs where possible.

Offshore Crane Preventive Maintenance
Plan routine maintenance and corrective work around your crane condition, operating schedule and manufacturer requirements—not only the next breakdown.
A coordinated maintenance scope
Offshore cranes depend on hydraulic, mechanical and electrical systems working together. Leader Marine Services supports inspection, troubleshooting, repair and overhaul from Abu Dhabi, with onboard attendance and workshop support in Musaffah.
- Hoisting, luffing and slewing function concerns
- Hydraulic leaks, pumps, motors, cylinders and control valves
- Brakes, winches, sheaves and wire-rope condition
- Controls, limit switches, sensors and reported alarms
- Follow-up repair priorities and component overhaul requirements
Agree the deliverables before attendance
Send the crane make, model, serial number, maintenance manual and previous reports. Agree which inspections, measurements, photographs and service records are required, together with the scope of any corrective work.
Maintenance intervals and acceptance criteria should follow the applicable manufacturer instructions and asset requirements. A service visit does not automatically replace a statutory inspection or third-party certification.
Planning an offshore maintenance visit
2. Confirm safe access and the work window
Coordinate vessel location, offshore access, permits, isolation arrangements, lifting support and available downtime with your operations team before mobilization.
3. Separate routine work from corrective repairs
Agree the inspection and maintenance scope first. Parts, dismantling, workshop overhaul, testing and further repairs should be confirmed against the findings and quotation.
Is load testing included?
Only when included in the agreed scope. Tell us the test capacity and witnessing or certification requirements so these can be considered separately.
