- Removing defective parts of the paint system back to clean steel and repainting in
isolated areas but not exceeding in aggregate more than 1% and 2% of the total
surface area at years 5 and 10.
- The removal of the paint system back to steel and replacement of the paint system in
areas aggregating more than the above percentages of the total surface area of the
painted part of the Crane shall be Defects remedial works and not maintenance.
(3) For items of electrical and mechanical equipment, controls, systems,

components, fittings and fixings, acceptable maintenance shall be the periodic and routine
maintenance normally carried out on the various parts generally undertaken as established
practices of the Purchaser.
(4) The foregoing shall apply notwithstanding any inconsistent requirement or

information in any maintenance instructions provided by the Contractor or otherwise put
forward by the Contractor and any such inconsistent requirement or information shall not, and
shall not be relied on by the Contractor, to relieve, limit or diminish any obligation or liability of

7.1.16 Structural Maintenance Program
(1) The fatigue criteria in this Specification are based on producing a damage tolerant design.
Because of the scatter of fatigue performance and that usage may exceed the design
conditions, there is a risk that a structure or component may fail in service. When fatigue
cracks develop, the remaining structure should sustain the maximum working load until the
cracks are discovered. Satisfactory performance of the damage tolerant design, therefore,
depends on adequate methods of fatigue crack detection and the ability to repair or replace
the damaged component. The intent of this section is to define a method of routinely
inspecting for fatigue cracks to significantly improve the structural reliability.
(2) The inspection intervals defined below are based on fracture mechanics calculations and
reliability analysis and on the fact that fatigue cracks can be classified as infant failures and
aging failures. The first inspection should detect infant failures and the later periodic
inspections should detect aging failures. Infant failures are primarily due to deficient
fabrication, under estimation of the fatigue damage which may be due to deficient design or
excessive loading, or a combination of all these. Aging failures are primarily due to cumulative
damage from normal operations and properly designed and manufactured components.
(3) Since the integrity of the structure depends on the inspections and interpretation of the results
and the choice of repair, it is important for the Contractor to review all reports. So copies of all
inspection reports, reports of structural difficulties of any nature, and reports describing any
modifications will be sent the Contractor and to the Engineer.
(4) Periodic structural inspection is required to detect cracks that have developed during the
warranty period and the life of the crane.
(5) The Contractor shall repair, at his own cost, all defects and cracks on the cranes discovered
during the structural warranty period of ten years from the Date of issue of Taking-over
certificate, regardless of the cause. During the first ten years after the issue of the Taking-over
RMG Specification
Page 87 of 110
certificate, the Contractor shall repair all cracks that are not the result of Purchaser’s misuse of
the crane.
(6) No later than three (3) months before the arrival of the crane(s) the Contractor shall submit a
Structural Maintenance Program for review. The program shall be based on the principles of
fracture mechanics. This program shall include:
(i) Inspection intervals

(ii) Locations to be inspected
(iii) NDT procedures to be used
(iv) Reporting procedures
(v) Repair procedures
(vi) Documentation showing the parameters used to determine the inspection intervals in
accordance with the criteria specified below
(7) The first structural inspection will be made during the defect liability period, but later than after
200,000 moves, in accordance with the Structural Maintenance Program. The inspection results
will be given to the Contractor. Within 30 days, the Contractor shall submit a plan to repair any
defects found. Upon Purchaser’s approval of the Contractor’s plan, the Contractor shall repair the
defects at his expense. The Purchaser’s independent agency will inspect the repaired defects. If
any of the repairs are not acceptable the Contractor shall make additional repairs as necessary.
The cost of the inspection of the additional repairs shall be borne by the Contractor.
(8) Later inspections will be made according to the recommended inspection interval, which shall be
included in the Structural Maintenance Program. The inspection interval shall be determined
according to the following table “Inspection Interval Criteria”. Locations where the cumulative
damage ratio is less than the minimum 24-year values do not need to be included in the Structural
Maintenance Program. The first inspection period will begin after completion of the first inspection
during Defect Liability Period.
(9) The inspection method shall be selected to detect fatigue cracks. Only the critical locations need to
be inspected by NDT. The critical locations on all members are those locations where fatigue
cracks, if any, would be expected to initiate. The inspected region shall extend a reasonable
distance beyond the critical point. MT shall be used at the critical locations of filet welds and UT
shall be used at the critical locations of butt welds. VT shall be used at all locations of potential
fatigue cracks.
(10) The Contractor shall provide permanent access ladders and platforms at all inspection locations, with
inspection intervals of 12 years or less. Access shall meet applicable safety laws and regulations.
