Port & Terminal Equipment Management

MarineInspection manages all types of port and terminal equipment including ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, mobile harbor cranes, reach stackers, empty container handlers, terminal tractors, forklifts (counterbalance and reach), side loaders, top loaders, spreaders and lifting attachments, chassis and trailers, yard trucks, straddle carriers, and support equipment. The platform handles both container terminal equipment and general cargo handling machinery with specialized tracking for operating hours, daily inspections, preventive maintenance schedules, load testing, hydraulic systems, structural components, and safety devices. The system supports OSHA compliance tracking, manages operator certification requirements, maintains inspection records for insurance purposes, monitors equipment utilization rates, and ensures regulatory adherence specific to port operations across different terminal types and cargo handling methods.

The system provides comprehensive daily inspection management meeting OSHA requirements for cranes (29 CFR 1919) and forklifts (29 CFR 1910.178). Mobile apps allow operators to complete pre-shift inspections directly on their smartphones or tablets with customized checklists for each equipment type. Crane inspections cover structural components, wire ropes, hooks and rigging, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, safety devices, and operational controls with photo documentation of any deficiencies. Forklift inspections include visual checks of tires, forks, mast, chains, hydraulic system, lights, horn, seatbelt, and operational systems. The platform prevents equipment operation if critical inspection items fail, automatically generates work orders for identified deficiencies, tracks inspection completion rates by shift and operator, maintains complete historical records for audits, and sends alerts to supervisors when inspections are overdue or equipment is taken out of service. Digital signatures confirm operator accountability, timestamps document compliance timing, and photo evidence supports incident investigation if accidents occur. The system generates summary reports for safety meetings, identifies recurring equipment issues requiring engineering attention, and provides inspection data for OSHA compliance documentation during audits.

Operator certification management provides complete tracking of workforce qualifications and compliance. The system maintains individual personnel profiles containing all required certifications including crane operator licenses (NCCCO certification, state licenses, equipment type endorsements), forklift operator training certificates (OSHA 1910.178 compliance, employer evaluation records, refresher training dates), equipment-specific authorizations for each machine type, TWIC card validity for port access, medical fitness certificates, first aid and CPR certifications, hazmat training records, and safety training documentation. The platform tracks certification expiration dates with automated email alerts sent 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry to operators, supervisors, and training coordinators. Equipment authorization management prevents operators from accessing machinery they're not qualified to operate through integration with access control systems or supervisor verification workflows. Training scheduling coordinates refresher courses, renewal classes, and competency assessments with automatic enrollment notifications. The system maintains complete training histories for each employee including classroom instruction dates, hands-on evaluation results, trainer signatures, and test scores. Audit reports generate compliance summaries for OSHA inspections showing all active certifications, recent training completion, and upcoming renewal requirements. Incident investigation features link operator qualifications to equipment accidents helping identify training gaps or unauthorized operation. Batch upload capabilities import certification data from training providers, while document management stores scanned copies of physical certificates accessible during regulatory inspections.
