OCIMF and USCG recommend annual inspections at minimum, with more frequent checks for high-use facilities or arms handling hazardous materials. We provide customized inspection schedules based on your specific usage patterns.
Yes, our technicians are trained to service all major manufacturers including Emco Wheaton, OPW, Kanon, FMC, and others. We maintain an extensive inventory of OEM and compatible replacement parts.
Emergency Release System testing includes function checks of quick-disconnect couplers, verification of breakaway forces, testing of hydraulic/pneumatic systems, alarm verification, and documentation of test results for compliance purposes.
Routine inspections typically take 1-2 days per loading arm. Repairs and overhauls can range from 2-5 days depending on scope. We work with your operations schedule to minimize downtime and can provide 24/7 service when needed.
Our experienced technicians provide comprehensive inspection, maintenance, and repair services for all types of marine loading arms.
