Cargo Gear Inspection & Formal Certification

175,00 

This course outlines the rigorous technical standards and regulatory frameworks required for the regular inspection, testing, and legal certification of shipboard cargo-handling equipment. Participants will study the international criteria mandated by classification societies and the ILO (International Labour Organization) regarding the structural integrity of cranes, derricks, winches, and loose gear like hooks and shackles. The training equips deck officers and technical superintendents with the practical skills needed to identify wear, corrosion, and structural fatigue, while detailing the mandatory procedures for proof-load testing and maintaining official cargo gear register books to ensure port-state compliance and operational safety.
