A deteriorated wire rope directly affects a dry dock’s ability to safely and reliably handle loads up to the rated capacity (safe working load). Therefore, diligent inspection, maintenance, and management of wire ropes are essential. Working wires should be changed at recommended intervals, or more frequently, depending on operating conditions and use. ______________________________ Position Available Seeking Dry Dock expert to join the DM Consulting Team.
