What is Ship Cargo Handling Equipment?
Ship cargo handling equipment refers to all devices and machinery used for loading and unloading goods on vessels. The type of equipment depends on the cargo. Liquid cargo is moved using pumps, bulk cargo may use conveyors, cranes, or derricks, while packaged or large items are usually handled by cranes or derricks. Container ships often use dedicated port equipment.
Most general cargo ships are equipped with their own loading/unloading devices. This is because not all ports have enough equipment, and ships may need to transfer goods at sea or load supplies. On-board cranes help reduce port time, lower costs, and improve efficiency.
Types of Marine Cranes
Marine cranes can be divided into derrick cranes and slewing cranes. Based on power type, they can be steam, electric, or hydraulic. Today, most ships use electric or hydraulic cranes. Steam cranes are rare except on some tankers (for safety).
A good marine crane should:
It should also be simple to operate, easy to maintain, water-resistant, and use common spare parts.
How Deck Cranes Work
Deck cranes can be hydraulic or electric. Hydraulic systems are widely used because they:
Many cranes use low-speed high-torque motors to drive the winch directly. This avoids the need for gearboxes. Some also use two-speed motors for light/heavy loads. Alternatively, high-speed motors with gearboxes are common in smaller cranes.
Variable displacement piston motors allow light loads to be lifted at higher speeds.
In hydraulic cranes:
The crane structure is welded and mounted on a base. It contains mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical parts. Pulleys with ball bearings are used for lifting. Both luffing and slewing motions are controlled by one lever. Small movements release the brake, and further movement controls speed and direction. Safety devices include relief valves and overload protection.

What Are Ship Lifting Equipment and Their Inspections?
Ship lifting equipment is often used in daily ship operations. Its safety affects both the crew and the vessel. But many crew members are not familiar with inspection requirements. Below are key points about inspections and what to prepare.
1. What is included in ship lifting equipment?
Ship lifting equipment includes:
Derrick systems
Cranes
Cargo and vehicle lifts
Passenger elevators
Vehicle ramps
Derrick cranes are a type of derrick system.
2. Required certificates
For international voyages:
Certificate of Test and Inspection for Lifting Equipment
Record of Test and Inspection for Cranes and Cargo Lifting Appliances
Certificate of Test for Dual Derrick Systems
Certificate for Wire Ropes
Certificate for Lifting Equipment loose gear
For domestic voyages:
A Record Book for Tests and Inspections of Lifting Equipment
3. Inspection rules
All Chinese ships must have lifting equipment inspected.
New equipment or parts that affect strength must be tested and fully inspected.
After an accident or major defect, report immediately for inspection.
Loose gear and wire ropes should be checked before each use. Exception: if inspected within the last 3 months.
Wire ropes with broken wires must be checked at least monthly.
Inspections include:
Initial survey
Annual survey
Renewal survey (every 4 years)
Marking requirements
Approved loose parts must be stamped with:
Safe Working Load (kN)
Test date
ID number
Testing authority mark
Small parts may omit the date and ID.
Cranes and derricks must also be marked after initial or change tests with:
Safe Working Load
Test date
Angle or radius during test
Survey unit’s stamp
4. Usage precautions
Operate within limits: max 5° list, 2° trim, wind speed ≤20m/s.
Check fuel, oil temperature, and environment before use.
Inspect wire ropes and winch pulleys regularly.
After use, secure the boom and hook.
Check pumps and motors for oil leaks.
Only trained operators should use the equipment. Keep others away.
Regularly check wires, hooks, and hydraulic oil. Lubricate key parts. Perform annual inspections.
5. Key inspection items
Confirm all tests and surveys are up to date.
Check load indicators and limit switches—do not exceed safe load.
Inspect for wear and corrosion:
Metal parts should not have >10% corrosion or cracks.
Loose gear should not have >10% wear; pins should not have >6% wear.
Replace wire ropes with severe corrosion or 5% broken wires in 10-diameter length.
Replace brake linings if worn down to rivets.
Check gears for broken teeth or cracks.
Inspect hydraulic lines, slewing rings, and bearings for leaks or damage.
6. Common defects
Missing or expired certificates.
Overloading beyond rated capacity.
Excessive wear or corrosion beyond allowed limits.
Oil leaks in the hydraulic system.
