2 SITE CONDITION AND PHYSICAL SETTINGS  

2.1 SITE LOCATION 

The  port  of  Mormugao,  one  of  the  oldest  ports  of  India  commissioned  in  1888 
and one among the 13 major ports in India, is situated in Goa state, between the 
major ports of Mumbai and New Mangolore. It is located at the mouth of river 
Zuari at latitude  15° 25’ North  and  longitude  73° 48’ East &  Goa  is located  at  a 
distance of about 580 km south of Mumbai.  The current project area is situated 
on the right side of South West Port Limited coal handling terminal.  

2.2 TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES 

There  is  neither  significant  vegetation  nor  any  habitation  in  the  proposed  Port 
area. The existing level in the back up area is in the range of + 4.0 m CD to + 5.0 m 
CD. Area immediate behind the proposed berth is having levels in the range of – 
3.0  m  to  –  11.0  m  CD.  Port  back  up  area  will  be  filled  with  suitable  reclaiming 
material. Area gently slopes towards sea coast. 

2.3 BATHYMETRY 

Information regarding Bathymetry in the region is available on Sea Charts 2020 
&  2078.  The  area  has  also  been  surveyed  by  MPT  Goa  Survey  Department  by 
taking  dense  soundings.  The  survey  charts  developed  by  Survey  department 
MPT Goa are attached in Annexure C. 

2.4 METEOROLOGICAL AND OCEANOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS 

The Met‐Ocean conditions have been previously ascertained at several stages in 
the  course  of  various  studies  conducted  in  past  in  respect  of  MPT  Goa  Port 
Development. The site of the Proposed Port is in the same region. Flow modeling 
for the proposed location has been covered in the Model developed by CWPRS 
Pune, who has developed the model Port area.  
The climate of the region is tropical, characterized by two monsoon seasons viz. 
the  south  west  monsoon  (mid  June‐September)  and  the  north  east  monsoon 
(December‐March). The post monsoon  period comprises  the months  of October 
and November while the period April to mid June is the transition period. 
Main  conditions  having  significant  bearing  on  Planning  and  Design  of  the  Port 
are described here in below.
2.4.1 RAINFALL 

Table  2  shows  the  average  rainfall  for  different  months  of  the  year  and  the 
number  of  rainy  days  in  each  month.  Rainy  day  is  a  day  with  at  least  2.5  mm 
rainfall.

90%  of  the  total  annual  rainfall  occurs  during  the  months  from  June  to 
September. There are, approximate 100 rainy days per year. 
2.4.2 TEMPERATURE 

The monthly average air temperatures are as shown in Table 1.

From the averages, it  is  observed  that April and  May  are  the  hottest  months  of 
the year with the highest average maximum and the highest average minimum 
temperatures  while  January  and  February  are  the  coldest  months  of  the  year 
with the lowest average maximum and lowest average minimum temperatures. 
The highest temperature recorded was 39ºC on 12 March 1979 while the lowest 
recorded was 13.3ºC on 25 February 1965. 
2.4.3 PREVAILING WIND AND CYCLONES 

The normal wind force varies from 4 to 7 on the Beaufort Scale.  The direction is 
mainly  from  South‐West,  West  and  North‐West  during  the  monsoon  season.  
During  the  rest  of  the  year  wind  direction  is  from  North,  North‐East,  East  and 
South‐East  in  the  morning  and  from  South‐West,  West  and  North‐West  during 
the  evening.    The  highest  average  wind  speed  is  in  the  range  of  30  kmph, 
recorded in July 1965.  The highest speed is 80 kmph, recorded in July 1965.  The 
highest  speed  is  80  kmph,  recorded  in  December  1966.  The  wind  forces  more 
than 10 on the Beaufort Scale are not expected. 
Mormugao  is  not  situated  in  a  pronounced  cyclone  zone  and  the  number  of 
occasions it was visited by cyclones during the past 90 years is less than a dozen. 
For the design of the Berth, an operating wind speed of 26 m/sec and the storm 
basic wind speed of 39 m /sec shall be considered as per IS:875‐Part 3. 
2.4.4 WIND CONDTIONS  

The  mean  wind  speed  varies  from  2  on  the  Beaufort  scale  in  November  to  4  in 
July,  the  annual  mean  wind  speed  being  13.6  KMPH.  In  an  average  year,  there 
are  316  days  with  wind  varying  from  0  to  3  on  the  Beaufort  scale  and  48  days 
with winds scaling 4 to 7 on the Beaufort scale, and 1 calm day. 
The  predominant  wind  direction  changes  with  the  time  of  the  year.  During  the 
period June – September wind blows from the W and SW. During the remaining 
period, the wind direction is from NE, ESE. 
2.4.5 TIDES  

The  nature  of  tides  prevailing  at  Mormugao  is  mainly  semi‐diuranl  exhibiting 
two  high  and  two  low  waters  in  a  tidal  day.  The  mean  tidal  variation  is  of  the 
order of 1.6 m at spring tides and around 0.7 m at neap tides. 
Based on Indian Naval Hydrographic Chart No. 2020, the tide levels with respect 
to chart Datum at Mormugao harbour are as follows: 
  Higher High Water at Spring Solstices ‐    +2.3 m 
  Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) ‐     +1.9 m 
  Mean Lower High Water (MLHW) ‐      +1.8 m 
  Mean Higher Low Water (MHLW) ‐      +1.0 m 
  Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) ‐       +0.5 m 
  Mean Sea Level (MSL) ‐         +1.3 m 
Tidal were measured at 15 minute interval for a month during April – May 1998 
by installing a tide gauge at Oil Berth No. 8. The maximum tidal range observed 
during the spring tide was 2.7 m and the minimum range during neap tide was 
0.51 m. 
At  present,  an  electronic  tide  gauge  has  been  installed  at  Berth  no  8  and  tide 
levels are captured by VTMS at the signal station. 
2.4.6 CURRENTS 
The currents in the region outside the sheltered harbour have been found to be 
generally  less  than  one knot, during  fair season  and are  mainly  caused  by tidal 
ebb  and  flow.  Within  the  sheltered  harbour,  indicated  currents  strengths  are  of 
the order of 30 to 40 cm/sec. During heavy monsoon rains the current pattern is 
altered  from  that  during  the  fair  season  but  the  current  strengths  do  not  get 
appreciably altered. 
As part of the field investigations in Vasco Bay, current observation were taken 
at two locations (CM1‐15° 26’ 00” N, 73° 48’  18” E,  CM2 ‐ 15° 24’ 21”N,  73°  48’ 
42” E). A summary of the current measurements is given in Table 2.3.  
 Table 2‐3  Current Measurement 
CM2 (Water 
CM1 (Water depth, 7 m) 
  depth, 3.5 m) 
Near Surface  Mid depth  Near bottom  Near bottom 
Maximum speed (cm/cc)  68  31  29  57 
Minimum Speed (cm/cc)  0  0  0  0 
Predominant Direction  ESE‐WNW  ESE‐WNW  ESE‐WNW  ESE 

Measurements  at  open  location  (CM1)  indicate  that  the  predominant  flow  is  in 
the  ESE‐WNW  direction,  while  at  the  location  (CM2)  close  to  the  shore,  the 
predominant direction is ESE. The flow of currents is predominantly due to the 
tidal currents. During flood water, flow is towards Zuvari River while during the 
ebbing, the reversal of flow takes place. 
The maximum current velocity was observed as 68 cm/sec. 
Presently  current  measurements  near  berth  no  8  are  captured  by  VTMS  at  the 
signal station. The current values are printed and sent to MPT twice a day. 
2.4.7 WAVE CONDTIONS  
A  number  of  wave  observations  have  been  made  at  and  around  Mormugao 
harbour at different times, including both ship observations & those made from 
the shore and the measured wave heights by installing a wave rider buoy.  
Mormugao  harbour  on  the  Southern  side  where  berths  are  located  is  protected 
by a breakwater and mole and generally it is the waves from directions between 
SW  and  NW  that  could  affect  the  tranquility  in  the  harbour.  The  deep  water 
waves  from  NW  generally  have  a  small  %  probability  exceedence  and  do  not 
affect harbour tranquility significantly since their heights get reduced by the time 
they reach the harbour.  
HOWE during their master plan study constructed the wave rose diagram from 
the visually observed wave heights during the period 1949 to 1962, from the area 
bounded by Latitude 10° N to 20° N and Longitude 70° E to 80° E. These wave 
analyses indicated that the yearly average probability of exceedence of the wave 
height of 2 m for the Westerly direction would be 
    Direction           Exc . Hs = 2 m   
  SW    4.7% 
  W    4.5% 
  NW    0.4% 
Frederic  R  Harris  (FRH)  during  their  master  plan  study  in  1997  carried  out 
further  additional  wave  climate  analyses  based  on  wave  observations  made 
during the period 1961‐1980 bound by Latitude 13° N to 16° N and Longitude 70° 
E  to  74°E and arrived at the following  results  for  deep  water wave climate  and 
wave heights at harbour entrance; 
Table 2‐4  Deep Water Wave Climate  (Probability of exceedence in % of time) 
HS=    1.0 m  2.0 m  3.0 m  4.0 m  5.0 m  6.0 m 
SW  12.2  8.7  4.7  2.2  0.8  0.3 
W  22.0  14.4  8.1  3.6  0.7  ‐ 
NW  9.6  2.5  0.7  0.3  ‐  ‐ 

Due  to  refraction,  shoaling  and  breaking,  the  wave  direction  and  wave  height 
will change while traveling from deep water to the harbour entrance. Generally 
by refraction the waves from NW turn to WNW. Waves from W and NW reduce 
in  height.  All  wave  conditions  higher  than  Hs  =  4  m  are  reduce  by  wave 
breaking. The operational wave climate at the harbour entrance in presented here 
below; 
Table 2‐5  Operational Wave Climate at Harbour 
(Probability of exceedence in % of time)
HS=    1.0 m  2.0 m  3.0 m  4.0 m 
SW  12.2  8.7  4.7  2.2 
W  21.6  13.6  7.4  3.0 
NW  8.4  2.0  0.6  0.2 

The extreme wave climate at the harbour entrance is as follows:
      Frequency of occurrence    Hs 
        10/ Year      4.7 m 
        1/ Year      5.0 m 
        1/10 Year      5.4 m 
        1/100 Year      5.8 m 

Extreme  wave  conditions  at  harbour  entrance  will  occur  mainly  during  the 
monsoon period. The period of the extreme waves varies between T=7S and 13S. 
During  the  last  4‐5  years  since  the  installation  of  VTMS,  MPT  is  measuring  the 
wave heights near the approach channel at a water depth of 10 m by installing a 
wave rider buoy. The VTMS captures these measured wave heights at the signal 
station. Twice a day, the recorded values are sent to MPT for their records.  
It  is  also  understood  that  National  Institute  of  Ocean  Technology  (NIOT), 
Chennai  has  installed  a  wave  rider  buoy  in  Mormugao  port  waters  and  the 
observations are maintained by NIOT. 
2.4.8   RELATIVE HUMIDITY 

The  region  is  generally  humid  throughout  the  year.  The  morning  and  evening 
relative  humidity  values  are  averaged  over  a  thirty  year  period,  as  shown  in 
Table3.

Portal Harbour Crane

1 Introduction
Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes and Portal Harbour Cranes are slewing boom cranes. They
were introduced to the market in 1956 and have been developed continually since then. With
maximum lifting capacities of up to 200 tonnes and working radii of up to 56 metres, Gottwald
cranes are used to serve ships of all types and sizes.
A Gottwald Portal Harbour Crane comprises four main assembly groups:

„ Portal chassis
„ superstructure
„ tower
„ boom

The superstructure serves as a protective housing for the drives, control system and power
generation equipment. The closed tower transmits forces between boom and superstructure
and provides the crane operator with comfortable, weather-protected access to the tower cab.
The boom is constructed as a torsionally stiff tubular-lattice structure.
The tower cab is the crane operator's ergonomically designed workplace and affords an
excellent view of the work area. All the crane functions can be controlled from the tower cab. In
addition, the crane is fitted with radio remote control.
Gottwald cranes are designed and manufactured to international standards and guidelines and
in accordance with the state of the art. This, together with Gottwald's long experience of crane
manufacture, provides the basis for many years of reliable, high-performance crane operation.

Portal Harbour Crane

2 Portal chassis
The sub-structure is designed as a travelling rail-mounted portal to support the slew ring of the
superstructure.

2.1 Steel structure


The welded steel structure is based on a torsion-proof box girder construction. The structure is
designed to support the slew ring and the rail-mounted travel gears. The portal main girder is
connected to the portal side girders by bolted joints. The portal main girder is equipped with a
platform which provides access to the superstructure.

2.2 Portal staircase


A staircase at one side of the portal chassis provides access to the access platform on the
portal main girder.

2.3 Rail-mounted travel gear


Each corner of the crane is equipped with eight wheels. Each travel gear corner consists of four
twin rocker sets attached to a rocker beam system by means of pin support assemblies.

2.4 Motors
Some of the twin rocker sets are equipped with travel gears. The travel gears consist of a 3-
phase asynchronous motor with an integrated brake combined with a reduction gear. The
output shaft of the reduction gear is directly connected with the driven wheel. Each motor drives
one wheel.

2.5 Operational brakes and holding brakes


Reducing the crane travel speed (operational braking) is carried out electrically without causing
any friction or wear. As soon as the crane travelling gear has come to a standstill the holding
brakes integrated in the drive motors will prevent the crane from unintended travel motions.
Additional rail clamps are engaged as soon as the crane main switch is switched off.

2.6 Travel gear control system


The travel gear is controlled from within the tower cabin. The control system includes the drive
unit and the braking function. The travel gear can be accelerated steadily in both directions to
maximum speed. An alarm sounds during travel motion.

3 Superstructure
The superstructure is a torsionally stiff welded steel load-bearing structure designed to carry all
the forces and moments occurring in crane operation. It has two floors. With a headroom of
2.5 m (8’-2”) on each floor, it provides ample room for easy access to all electrical and
mechanical components. The superstructure accommodates:
„ the diesel-generator system (optional)
„ hoists
„ slewing gear
„ the pressure oil unit
„ the electrics room
„ the counterweights.

The two floors of the superstructure are divided into a number of different rooms:
Lower floor:
„ diesel-generator room (optional)
„ machinery room for the slewing gear

Upper floor:
„ machinery room for the hoists and the pressure oil unit
„ electrics room

A platform at the front of the superstructure provides safe access from the portal platform to the
superstructure. The superstructure is accessed via lockable doors. The integral stairwell
provides comfortable access to the rooms of the upper floor and to the stairway leading to the
tower cab.
The superstructure is illuminated with fluorescent lamps, half of which serve also as emergency
lighting.

3.1 Protective Housing


The protective housing protects all components from environmental influences; it also protects
the environment from noise emissions. The protective housing is made up of the steel structure
of the superstructure together with side panelling made of coated composite plates and a roof
made of aluminium plates. The rope outlet on the roof of the superstructure is protected against
ingress of rain and dust by means of rubber seals. Water ducts are provided for rainwater
removal.
The side walls can be removed easily for replacement of individual drive units.

3.1.1 Communication System


The crane is equipped with a communication system having headphones and microphones,
which can be connected in:
„ the diesel-generator room
„ the machinery room for the hoists and pressure oil unit
„ the machinery room for the slewing gear
„ the electrics room
„ the tower cab

The system is supplemented with external loudspeakers and an amplifier with microphone in
the tower cab. An additional intercom device is located at the portal chassis located near the
ground.

3.1.2 Ventilation System


The superstructure is provided with forced-air ventilation. Fresh air with a low dust content is
sucked in at the right side of the tower and fed into the superstructure via an air duct integrated
in the tower. In the superstructure, the air is distributed to the two machinery rooms and to the
diesel-generator room. The fresh air serves both to cool the drive units and as combustion air
for the diesel engine. The heated exhaust air is removed in an upward flow through the closed
tower and escapes via air outlet openings.
The elevated air intake position and the slight positive pressure in the superstructure minimise
the dust load on the drive units.

3.2 Diesel-Generator System (optional)


The electric power for the crane drives is generated by a diesel-generator system. The diesel
generator unit is adequately dimensioned so that all crane functions can be carried out
simultaneously.
The diesel engine is connected to a three-phase generator. For quick replacement, the diesel-
generator unit is mounted on a sliding frame, which can be removed sideways from the
superstructure using standard port equipment.

Project 15 044 Page 7 of 18 8228 – RA – 0310 – TB – G HSK 8332 B


G HSK 8332 B
Portal Harbour Crane
The control unit for the diesel engine is installed on the engine and equipped with start and stop
buttons, key-operated ignition and a digital display for:
„ engine oil pressure
„ coolant temperature
„ rev counter
„ operating hours counter
„ battery voltmeter

The starter batteries with the main switch are also located in the diesel-generator room.

3.2.1 Day Tank


The diesel engine is operated with fuel from the day tank, which is also located in the diesel-
generator room. The day tank is automatically filled with fuel from the main fuel tank located in
the portal structure.
The automatic filling is controlled with the aid of a number of sensors in the day tank. As an
additional safety facility, a return line runs from the day tank to the main fuel tank to prevent the
former from overflowing.

3.3 Hoist
The hoist assembly comprises two hoists, each having a modular design. One hoist serves as
holding gear, the other opens and closes the four-rope grab. Each hoist comprises:
„ DC motor
„ spring-loaded disc brake
„ completely enclosed reduction gear unit
„ milled rope drum.

The rope drums, reduction gear units and hoist motors are arranged in such a manner that all
the maintenance points are easily accessible. The ropes are coiled in one layer on the rope
drums in order to keep wear low. Two ropes are coiled on each drum.
The rope ends are connected directly to the grab or to the hook rotator, i.e. hook speed equals
rope speed.
A horizontal load path during luffing is achieved by triple reeving of the ropes between tower
and boom head.

3.3.1 Hoist Lubrication


The hoist reduction gear units are oil-immersed. The oil level is monitored.

3.3.2 Hoist Brake


The hoists are braked electrically by the hoist motors. When the hoisting speed is near zero,
the spring-loaded hydraulically released disc brakes are applied automatically. These brakes
also act as emergency brakes in the event of a power supply failure.

Project 15 044 Page 8 of 18 8228 – RA – 0310 – TB – G HSK 8332 B


G HSK 8332 B
Portal Harbour Crane
3.3.3 Hoist Control
The electric motor is a separately excited DC shunt motor. The hoist motor is controlled by
means of thyristors connected in an inverse-parallel arrangement. The DC drive system
provides smooth acceleration and deceleration of the hoisting motion. It thus protects the
mechanical components and the steel structure from fatigue. The maximum possible hoisting
speed is automatically increased with reduced load.
In crane operation with the hook rotator, both hoists are electronically synchronised.

3.4 Slewing Gear


With the slewing gear, the superstructure can be slewed infinitely. The slewing gear has a
modular design and comprises:
„ DC motor
„ elastic coupling
„ disc brake
„ three-row roller bearing slew ring
„ fully enclosed planetary reduction gear unit.

The drive pinion of the planetary gear unit engages with the internal toothing of the slew ring.

3.4.1 Slewing Gear Lubrication


The slewing reduction gear unit is oil-immersed. The roller bearing slew ring and the toothing
are lubricated by means of a central lubrication system.

3.4.2 Slewing Gear Brake


The slewing motion is braked electrically. When the slewing gear has been brought to a
standstill, the spring-loaded hydraulically released disc brake is applied automatically. This
brake also acts as an emergency brake in the event of a power supply failure.

3.4.3 Slewing Gear Control


The electric motor is a separately excited DC shunt motor. The slewing gear motor is controlled
by means of thyristors connected in an inverse-parallel arrangement. The DC drive system
provides smooth acceleration and deceleration of the slewing motion. The maximum slewing
speed depends on the boom position and is controlled automatically.

3.5 Luffing Gear


The boom is luffed in and out by means of a hydraulic differential luffing cylinder that holds the
boom in position. The cylinder is mounted below the boom. Brake valves control the cylinder
movement. For safety reasons, pipe-break valves are fitted.
For maintenance work, the valve block on the luffing cylinder can be accessed easily from a
platform on the superstructure.

G HSK 8332 B
Portal Harbour Crane
3.5.1 Luffing Gear Drive
The pressure oil unit in the superstructure supplies the luffing cylinder with pressurised oil for its
operation.

3.5.2 Luffing Gear Control


Acceleration and deceleration of the luffing motion are controlled smoothly and in an infinitely
variable fashion by means of valves and by alteration of the volumetric flow rate of the oil.

3.6 Pressure Oil Unit


The pressure oil unit supplies pressurised oil to the luffing gear. It comprises:
„ a three-phase squirrel-cage motor
„ an elastic coupling
„ an axial piston pump.

The axial piston pump has an adjustable oil displacement. The displacement is adapted as
necessary during crane operation.

3.7 Maintenance Hoist Winch


In the upper part of the double-deck machinery house, an electric chain winch with electric
driven trolley on a rail is installed to facilitate lifting of tools, parts and oil drums from the ground
into the machinery house. It has a lifting capacity of 1,600 kg (approx. 3,500 lbs).

3.8 Counterweight
The counterweight is mounted in a positive-fitting manner in T-rails at the rear of the
superstructure.

6 Hook Rotator
For hook operation a lifting gear instead of the grab can be fitted to the ends of the ropes.
The lifting gear comprises a beam from which a ramshorn hook equipped with safety catches is
suspended by means of a universal joint. The hook is manually rotatable on a roller bearing.

7 Safety Equipment
The safety equipment installed complies with the applicable EU directives. Additional safety
equipment further enhances operational safety.

7.1 Safe Load Indicator


The crane is equipped with an automatic safe load indicator that ensures its safe operation.
The system indicates the actual load on the ropes and the actual radius of the boom. As soon
as the permissible load is reached, motions that would increase the load moment are disabled
and an audible alarm is sounded in the tower cab.

7.2 Limit Switches


The hoisting and lowering motions of the crane are limited by electronic limit switches. In the
pre-limit switch range, the speed of the hoisting motion is reduced. When the switch-off point is
reached, the hoisting motion is stopped.
For the electronic limit switching of the hoist, the hoisting height is detected by two redundant
systems. The values are compared in a computer. As a check, the comparison is also
performed in parallel in a second computer.
The limit switching of the luffing gear functions in the same manner as that of the hoist.

7.3 Safety Valves


The luffing cylinders are equipped with pipe-break valves that hold the cylinders in position
should a leak occur.
Pressure limiting valves protect the hydraulic circuits from excessive pressure.

7.4 Locking of Superstructure


During storms, the superstructure and the portal chassis are locked together mechanically. The
locking / unlocking of the crane is performed from the tower cabin. As soon as both parts are
interlocked the slewing gear drive is disabled.

Project 15 044 Page 15 of 18 8228 – RA – 0310 – TB – G HSK 8332 B


G HSK 8332 B
Portal Harbour Crane
7.5 Storm Safety Anchors
In case of high wind speeds the crane has to be locked to the ground to prevent the crane from
drifting caused by wind. For this the portal structure is equipped with one storm safety device at
each side girder which will interlock with an appropriate device in the quay structure.

7.6 Anemometer
An anemometer is located on the tower head. The wind speed is shown on the Visumatic®
monitor. If the allowed wind speed is exceeded, an audible alarm will be sounded in the tower
cab.

7.7 Emergency Stop


In case of danger to staff in the work area or to the crane itself, the motions of the crane can be
stopped immediately by actuating an emergency stop switch.
Emergency stop switches are mounted in the tower cab, in the superstructure and in the
electrics room. When one of these switches is actuated, all crane motions are stopped
immediately.
Further emergency stop switches are mounted at the sides of the portal chassis. When one of
these emergency stop switches is actuated, all crane travel motions are stopped immediately.

7.8 Emergency Escape Ladder


Mounted on the platform of the tower cab is an emergency escape ladder. If the stairways
inside the tower cannot be used, the tower cab can be evacuated via the emergency escape
ladder.

7.9 Smoke detection system


The crane will be equipped with a smoke detection system which will detect smoke in the
following areas:
„ Electrics room
„ Diesel engine room
„ Machinery house
„ Tower cabin

The signal will be provided both audible and via the Visumatic© system in the tower cabin to
the crane driver. Additionally an audible siren will be mounted in the tower.

8 Electrical Equipment
The main drives of the crane are driven by means of electric motors. This drive concept, which
is the most wide-spread and commonly used drive concept in port technology applications,
offers the following advantages:
„ low operating and maintenance costs
„ reliable operation even in continuous, multi-shift operation
„ reliable operation under extreme climatic conditions
„ long machine-unit service lives with unvarying high efficiency
„ easy service and maintenance.

Thyristor converter units convert the alternating current to direct current for the hoist and
slewing gear drives. The DC drive system provides smooth acceleration and deceleration of the
crane motions.

8.1 Shore Power Supply via a Cable Reel


A motor-operated cable reel fitted with a single reel is installed on the portal chassis. The cable
reel is fitted with a single trailing cable. The quay ends of the cable are not fitted with a plug-in
connector. On customer request, medium voltage connecting plug and a medium voltage
socket for the shore mains can be supplied.
The feed voltage is converted into the correct voltage for the crane mains via a dry-type
transformer. This transformer is located in a separate compartment located at the portal
chassis.

8.2 Electrics Room


The closed, lockable electrics room is located in the superstructure. Accommodated in this
room are the crane control system and the electric control equipment.
The electric control equipment is arranged by function groups. All cables, plugs and terminal
strips are clearly marked so that maintenance work can be performed easily.
An air conditioner and a heater in the electrics room prevent problems due to moisture and
make it possible to carry out maintenance work safely and reliably under all weather conditions.

8.3 Central Computer


The programmable logic controller of the crane is installed in the electrics room. It detects and
monitors all electric signals and diagnostic messages via a bus system. In addition, data is
exchanged between the controller, the crane drives and the tower cab via a high-speed bus
system.

8.4 Lighting
The tower cab, all rooms of the superstructure, and the entrances, stairways and platforms are
illuminated by fluorescent lamps. Half of these fluorescent lamps serve also as emergency
lighting. Thanks to the installed lighting, it is possible to walk safely on and in the crane, and to
perform maintenance work without difficulty, when it is dark outside.

Project 15 044 Page 17 of 18 8228 – RA – 0310 – TB – G HSK 8332 B


G HSK 8332 B
Portal Harbour Crane
Floodlighting is provided for illumination of the work area in night operation of the crane. Lights
are mounted on the boom head, below the boom, on the front of the tower and on the rear of
the tower cab platform.

8.5 Operating Hours Counter


The operating hours counters record the operating hours of the various crane drives.

8.6 Video Camera Assistance


The crane is equipped with a camera system that assists the crane operator during loading and
unloading of cargo. The image captured by a video camera on the boom head is displayed on a
monitor in the tower cab. The monitor is mounted in a clearly visible position close to the
operator seat.

8.7 Radio Remote Control


All the crane functions can be controlled with the radio remote control. The control unit is
portable, robust and weatherproof. The radio remote control is equipped with displays that
show, among other things, the operating mode, radius and lifting capacity. The individual
functions are indicated with the same symbols and pictograms as are used in the tower cab.
With the radio remote control, the crane can be moved easily from any location on the pier for
maintenance purposes. Miscommunication between the crane operator and quay staff during
repair and maintenance work can thus be avoided.

9 Surface Protection
All load-bearing parts are sandblasted and painted using proven methods. These methods
meet the requirements of a salt-laden, marine environment.

function time Time [s]

Considering that some movements will be done simultaneously, one cycle requires a time of: 87 sec

87 sec for 1 cycle means 41,4 cycles/hour

41 cycles per hour multiplied with a payload of 35,5 t results in 1470 t/hour TDC
This turnover calculation considers the time required for one cycle projected to one hour, theoretically!
Average turnover capacity "ATC" per day (t/day) is equal to the theoretical discharging capacity "TDC" multiplyed by the operational factor "VF" and the time "T"

ATC = TDC * VF * T

"VF" is an efficiency factor and considers parameters e.g. crane type, grab type and size, crane operator experience, vessel size and type, logistics and operational
circumstances, discharging into a hopper or on a pile, etc.
Also it depends on the amount of hatches which is subject to the size and type of a vessel
Efficiency factor also depends on discharging (sequence and amount) of the different hatchs which have to be carried out according to the instructions of the ship's captain
Discharging of a hatch gets subdivided into three phases: cream didding, free digging and cleaning of a hatch
Based on experience the factor "VF" for a Mobile Harbour Crane is:
VF = 0,65 - 0,7 for Handysize (30.000 DWT, Beam up to 22m); Handymax (50.000 DWT, Beam up to 28m)
VF = 0,7 - 0,75 for Panamax Vessels (up to 100.000 DWT, Beam up to 32m)
VF = 0,75 - 0,8 for Cape Size Vessels (above 100.000 DWT; Beam up to 45m)

Based on practical experience, the factor "T" (hour/day) for a Mobile Harbour Crane is: 22 hr
"T" is a time factor and considers parameters e.g. required daily maintenance on the crane, crane operators endurance, crew of the vessel, logistics and operational
parameters of the termial operator, availability of facilities, capacity of the discharging place, etc.

Based on the experience, the factor "N" considers the amount of cranes working on a vessel
N= 1-2 for Handysize and Handymax
N= 2-3 for Panamax
N= 2-3 for Cape Size Vessels

Average turnover capacity ATC = 45.276 t/day if considering a Cape Size Vessel with 90.000 DWT

A Cape Size Vessel with 90.000 DWT will be unloaded by "N"= 2 LPS600 within 2,0 days.
