Glen Maritime’s engineering team recently carried out a comprehensive inspection of the Quick Release Hooks (QRH) supplied for the Shell MDS Bintulu Project in Sarawak, Malaysia.
The QRHs have been in continuous operation for five years, withstanding more than 100 mooring operations per year. Under normal conditions, such equipment would typically require a major overhaul after five years. However, the inspection confirmed that the QRHs remain in excellent working condition, demonstrating outstanding durability and reliability.
Key Findings:
* 100% performance in quick release and locking functions
* 100% performance in capstan rotation and gearbox operation
The proven performance of Glen Maritime’s QRHs eliminates the need for costly major overhauls, bringing significant benefits:
✔️ Minimized downtime
✔️ Lower operating costs
✔️ Extended asset life
✔️ Enhanced safety and regulatory compliance
✔️ More sustainable operations
To ensure continued safe operation and extended life-cycle, Glen Maritime engineers also provided professional recommendations for subsequent maintenance.
This successful inspection highlights not only the durability and reliability of Glen Maritime’s mooring equipment but also our team’s commitment to professional after-sales service.
