TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

C (I)

Functional Requirement for the Crane

1.

General

1-1.

Project Description To carry out the design, construction, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of Two (2) units of 41 tonnes capacity electrical Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes. The cranes shall be delivered to Gdynia Container Terminal S.A., Gdynia, Poland in a fully assembled and tested condition.

1-2.

Terminal Site The Cranes shall be delivered and installed on Gdynia Container Terminal on Energetykow 5, Gdynia, Poland (hereinafter referred to as GCT).

1-3.

Overriding Requirement of the Purchaser This Specification forms part of and is subject to the Conditions of Contract. Special attention of the Contractor is drawn to Clause 3. General Requirements of the Conditions of Contract for clarification of position of this Specification in relation to the overall and overriding requirements of the Purchaser. For the purposes of this Contract (including Clause 3 of the Conditions of Contract and relevant references within the Specification) acceptable routine maintenance shall be within the following general parameters. (1)

For steel structures and related component parts, fittings and fixings, acceptable routine maintenance shall be limited to the maintaining of the paint system as stated below. Reinforcing, cutting out and/or replacement of any corroded, fatigued or defective steel or its fixings, etc. shall be Defects remedial works and not maintenance.

(2)

For the paint system acceptable routine maintenance shall be:

(3)

-

Preparing and over coating the existing paint system at year 20 after the issuance of the Commissioning Certificate.

-

Removing damaged parts of the paint system back to clean steel and repainting in isolated areas but not exceeding in aggregate more than 1%, 2% and 3% of the total surface area at years 5, 10 and 15 respectively.

-

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.

For items of electrical and mechanical equipment, controls, systems, components, fittings and fixings, acceptable maintenance shall be the periodic and routine

Appendix 1 - Technical Specification Feb 2012

[ GCT - RUBBER TYRED GANTRY CRANES ] Page: 9 maintenance normally carried out on the various parts generally undertaken as establishment 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 the Contractor under the Agreement or otherwise including in relation to Defects.

2. Overall Design Criteria 2-1.

Type of Crane The Crane shall be powered by shore power supply system, electrically driven rubber tyred travelling gantry crane with a self-driven trolley with a cab. The Crane drive and control shall be full AC inverter drive, with fully digitalised controls with PLC. The proposed drive and control system shall be a proven system successfully operating on a similar capacity crane in actual container handling operations.

2-2.

Type of Cargo The type of cargo to be handled by the Crane shall be 1 2 3 4

2-3.

ISO 20ft, 40 ft and 45ft containers including high-cube, half height, flat rack containers. Other types of container with ISO corner fittings at 20ft, 40ft, or 45 ft positions. Containers with overheight cargoes through an overheight cargo container lifting frame of the Purchaser. Damaged container with slings and shackles attached to lifting lugs of the spreader.

Operating Environment and Design Aim 1.

The Crane shall be operated and maintained on 24 hours per day basis in all weather conditions. All electrical, electronic, and mechanical equipment shall be nonhygroscopic, non-corroding suitable for use in conditions stated in 2-7.6, 2-7.7, 5-4 of this Specification. The Cranes shall conform to the noise requirements in this Specification.

2.

Special considerations shall be given in all aspects of the design for achieving accurate load spotting ability with quick sway/yaw damping, and ensuring full operational capability and safety for round the clock operations, including operation under heavy rain and/or falling snow.

3.

The Crane shall be exposed to non-technical personnel specifically at the ground level and in access to trolley/operator’s cab. The Contractor will provide adequate, safe and fool-proof protection in and around all equipment and fittings in these areas of the Crane.

4.

Mode of Operation and Performance Target (MMBF) The Crane shall be manually controlled; all functions on the Crane shall be controlled fully by the operator from the operators cab position. The MMBF of the Crane will be ascertained by the Purchaser after its Commissioning. For the purpose of ascertaining MMBF the Crane will be put into operation under such conditions and circumstances as may exist or be required by the Purchaser from time to time including if the Purchaser elects operation for the purpose of the Purchaser’s business and/or for the specific purpose of ascertaining MMBF. No credit or allowance shall be given for the benefit of the Contractor in respect of conditions, circumstances, and operator’s performance. The MMBF is defined as: MMBF =

Twist Lock Count (TLC) for one week Number of Breakdowns of a Crane for one week

TLC = One TLC is defined as the operation of twist lock + hoisting + trolley + lowering + unlock. The actual MMBF shall be recorded on a weekly basis. Following completion of the Initial Trial Period, the Intermediate Trial Period and the Final Trial Period for a Crane the MMBF shall be calculated by dividing the total number of twist lock counts recorded during the final four-weeks by the total number of breakdowns in the same period. 2-5.
