safety trips and cut outs, deterioration of wire ropes, badly worn out brake lining, etc. Maintenance of
cranes, especially engine room cranes are totally neglected in most of the ships. For avoiding such
accidents regular maintenance schedule must be set up for all the cranes working in marine vessels.
Also cranes should be tested and certified by a shore based competent authority.
