Deck Crane Repairing at Ha Long Anchorage – Crane No. 3 Winch Drum Overhaul by VietNam Shiprepair
Is your Panamax woodchips carrier facing a critical failure of the jib hoist winch drum on Crane No. 3 at Ha Long Anchorage? VietNam Shiprepair provides professional Deck Crane Repairing and Marine Services, specializing in the urgent overhaul of crane winch drums under full operational priority. We recently completed the repair of Crane No. 3 on a Panamax woodchips carrier after the winch drum bearings failed, completely preventing jib raising and lowering. This failure stopped cargo operations in holds No. 5 and No. 6, risking serious delays and the potential need to hire external service cranes. The winch drum was dismantled at Cai Lan Port, transported to our Hai Phong workshop for precision reconditioning, and reinstalled at Ha Long Anchorage with full operational testing.
Our Marine Services are available at Ha Long Anchorage and across Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh Port and Anchorage, Hai Phong Port, and Phu My Port – Vung Tau Anchorage, with full capability to support vessels at any port or anchorage nationwide.

Importance of Deck Crane Repairing for Woodchips Carriers
Deck cranes are essential for self-loading and self-discharging operations on woodchips carriers. When the jib hoist winch drum fails due to broken bearings, the affected crane becomes completely unusable. On a Panamax woodchips carrier, the inability to operate Crane No. 3 directly impacts cargo work in holds No. 5 and No. 6, causing schedule delays and significantly higher operating costs. Professional Deck Crane Repairing by VietNam Shiprepair restores full crane functionality in the shortest possible time, protecting both the vessel’s commercial performance and the interests of all parties involved.

VietNam Shiprepair executed the following controlled process for the Crane No. 3 winch drum overhaul:
- Conducted a detailed survey of the failed winch drum and developed a clear repair plan prioritizing speed and quality.
- Safely dismantled the winch drum at Cai Lan Port.
