Inspection, Maintenance and Spare Parts
Mooring and berthing equipment works in salt, spray, sun, vibration, and heavy loads. That combination causes wear over time, often in places you do not see at first. Regular inspection and planned maintenance help you prevent unplanned downtime, keep operations safe, and extend the service life of your equipment.
Straatman’s Spares & Service team supports ports and terminals with inspections, repairs, upgrades, and maintenance planning. We work on Straatman systems, and we also inspect and maintain systems from other manufacturers (including competitor equipment). If it is installed on your jetty or quay and it supports mooring operations, we can usually service it.
Inspections and site surveys
We carry out on-site inspections to assess condition, risks, and remaining service life. Typical activities include:
- Visual inspection of mechanical components, structure, fasteners, and protective coatings
- Functional checks and operational tests
- Verification of settings and safety functions
- Check of wear parts and recommended replacement list
- Review of documentation and maintenance history (if available)
- Clear advice on repair, upgrade, or replacement options
You receive a practical report with findings, photos, and recommendations so you can plan maintenance and budget with fewer surprises.
Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance is planned work based on time or usage. It reduces unexpected failures and keeps equipment performing as intended. Depending on your system, this can include:
- Cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment
- Replacement of wear parts before failure
- Torque and fastening checks
- Function testing and verification
- Coating inspection and touch-up advice
Corrective maintenance and repairs
If something is damaged, stuck, or not working correctly, we can support fault-finding and repairs on-site. Where needed, we can advise the fastest safe workaround to keep operations moving until a full repair is completed.
Spare parts, upgrades, and refurbishments
We supply OEM spare parts for Straatman and other equipment and can propose upgrades to improve reliability, safety, or usability. We also support refurbishment projects where equipment can be restored instead of replaced.
On-site support capabilities
Our service engineers can support you with:
Equipment inspections and repair planning
Site surveys to determine the best repair, upgrade, or maintenance approach—based on condition, usage, and operational constraints.
Quick Release Mooring Hook servicing
Inspection, overhaul support, functional tests, and advice on wear parts and replacement intervals.
Coating protection and corrosion control
Condition checks, recommendations for repair scope, and guidance for coating systems (including marine protection at critical areas).
Load monitoring system calibration. Checks, verification of readings, and support to keep data reliable.
Electrical and software fault diagnosis and repair
Troubleshooting of sensors, wiring, cabinets, power supply, and software-related issues (where applicable).
Support for Strainstall and AMTS hooks (and more)
Through our takeover agreement with Strainstall UK, we also service Strainstall and AMTS Quick Release Hooks and Berthing Aid Systems.
At the same time, our experience is not limited to these brands. We can inspect and maintain quick release mooring hooks and related equipment from any manufacturer. That includes inspection planning, servicing, troubleshooting, and maintenance advice. Also, when the original supplier is no longer available or response times are too long.
Maintenance contracts for long-term reliability
Maintenance contracts for long-term reliability
You can request a one-time inspection or repair visit, but for most terminals, a maintenance contract is the most effective option. A contract helps you plan costs, align maintenance with operational windows, and keep equipment in a known condition.
What a maintenance contract typically includes
- A service schedule (for example yearly, half-yearly, or based on usage)
- Inspection and functional testing
- Calibration checks where applicable
- Spare parts planning and recommended stock levels
- Reporting with clear actions and priorities
- Optional upgrades and improvement proposals
- Support for planning shutdown work and work permits (as required on site)
Benefits of planned maintenance
- More consistent equipment performance
- Earlier detection of safety risks and wear
- Fewer unplanned stoppages and call-outs
- Longer service life of critical mooring assets
- Better documentation for audits and internal reviews
