Quay crane minimum safety spec published
TT Club, ICHCA International and the Port Equipment Manufacturers’ Association have joined forces to release minimum safety specifications for quay container cranes.
“This document is about identifying the big claims, identifying the technology that might mitigate those accidents and having those included as standard.”
If an operator has had a number of claims relating to crane collisions, the excess for future cover could become prohibitive. So while premiums might not necessarily decrease because an operator installs boom anti-collision technology, installing preventative technology will help cap excesses.
