Description
The objective of this project is to determine the applicability of current standards, regulations, and practices which exist domestically and internationally, both within and outside of the oil and gas industry for use in determining and validation of the load ratings for new built cranes and de-rated cranes used during offshore oil and gas activities in the Arctic. If no acceptable methods are available, provide a process, based on sound science and good engineering principles, for determining the initial rating and de-rated lift capacity of a crane which is to be used in the US Arctic Offshore.
