12.8 Routine lifts or project lifts

Routine lifts comprise:
• Routine lifts comprise all bulk operations using a grab or polygrab, all lifts of big bags, all lifts of steel plates using special beams with lifting clamps, all lifts of standard containers using container beams.
• All lifts where the static hook load of a hoisting device constitutes max 80% of the relevant dWLL (Derate Working Load Limit) at the reach required for the lifting operation .

Routine lifts are performed:

• During routine lifts, the crane lessee has the full authority over instruction and supervision. which must be given in accordance with Danish legislation and acknowledged crane operation guidelines. People involved in the rigging and direction of the crane must have the requisite experience and the necessary theoretic qualifications. Theoretic qualifications (for example a “rigger certificate”) must be presented upon request.
• ODENSE PORT disclaims any stevedore liability in the event of non-attendance of dockers/stevedores.
• ODENSE PORT offers to give instructions on behalf of the lessee by express agreement and against separate payment. This will be settled at the hourly price for supervisors.

12.10 Project lifts
Project lifts comprise
• All lifts involving more than a single crane, for example joint lifts.
• All lifts with a critical impact on the trim, heel or stability of the ship.
• All lifts involving alteration of the orientation of the load, for example up-ending and rotation; although with the exception of rotation around the vertical axis through its centre of gravity.
• All lifts involving complex rigging. Examples of complex rigging are asymmetric rigging (centre of gravity not centred between rigging points); statically indeterminate lifts (typically three or more rigging points); rigging points positioned lower than the centre of gravity; complex rigging (difficult access conditions, working at heights, etc.); use of special lifting gear (such as spreaders with hydraulic adjustment).
