A specialist international conference for ports, terminal operators, asset owners, engineering teams and technical specialists responsible for the operation, maintenance, reliability, safety and lifecycle of cargo-handling cranes.  

Across ports and terminals, crane owners and operators face ongoing challenges around equipment reliability, structural integrity, unplanned downtime, obsolete components, maintenance costs and the safe operation of ageing equipment. Major repairs, refurbishment and modernisation can address some of these challenges, but they also bring new considerations around system compatibility, ongoing maintenance, performance and the condition of components retained in service. 

Whether you have already repaired, refurbished, modernised or replaced cranes, are currently undertaking engineering works, or are still evaluating your options, this conference is relevant to you. 

Learn from completed and ongoing projects, explore how operators are managing reliability and maintenance after major engineering works, and discover approaches to reducing downtime, addressing recurring technical problems and extending the service life of critical equipment. For those yet to decide how best to address ageing cranes, the conference also provides an opportunity to compare approaches and learn from the experience of others. 

Crane Maintenance, Reliability & Life Extension brings together ports, terminal operators, asset owners and specialist service providers to share practical experience, discuss engineering and operational challenges, and explore solutions across the crane lifecycle. 

The conference focuses on port and terminal cargo-handling cranes, including ship-to-shore cranes, RTGs, RMGs, mobile harbour cranes and other critical cargo-handling equipment.
