Treatment of indent on deck crane or derrick boom
When a local indent was caused on crane jib or derrick boom, it is often found that putty or bond has been applied for the part to make flush surface after that.
Recently it is reported that the above cases were pointed out by longshoremen and cargo handling was rejected or delayed as a result.
Applying putty or bond to a local indent is not only disturbing to judge extent of the damage but also raising unnecessary misunderstandings to longshoremen. In such case you are kindly requested to remove putty or bond as soon as possible, and arrange surveys if the damage would not be surveyed yet. Please note that renewal of the damaged part will be required if the indent would be considerably deep.
If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact the Survey Department.
