The
Crane Maintenance
Department is responsible for
maintaining and enhancing the cargo handling cranes of the Maryland Port
Administration. These cranes provide productive, reliable and safe operation
for our customers.
Optimum crane maintenance is accomplished by electro-mechanical crane
technicians who meticulously maintain and oversee crane operations around the
clock.
Our highly-trained workforce
services cargo-handling cranes at three public marine terminals as well as a
300-ton mobile crane. To provide efficient service, crane maintenance
personnel are assigned to four response groups: Dundalk Crane Maintenance,
Seagirt Crane Maintenance, Locust Point Crane Maintenance and the Crane
Maintenance Support Group.
The
Dundalk Crane Maintenance Group provides service for the nine container and
12 rubber-tired gantry cranes at Dundalk Marine Terminal. They also provide
necessary crane support for cruise vessels.
The Seagirt Crane Maintenance Group provides service for the seven
state-of-the-art container cranes located at the Seagirt Marine Terminal.

The Locust Point Crane Maintenance Group provides service for the two
whirly cranes and one container crane at the North Locust Point Marine
Terminal and one 100-ton whirly crane at the South Locust Point Marine
Terminal.
The Crane Maintenance Support Group provides the necessary personnel to
transport and position the Port's 300-ton mobile crane, known as “Big Red”. They also provide
repair work for the spreaders located at the Dundalk, Seagirt and Locust Point
marine terminals.
This group also
assists by maintaining any structures or platforms needed by the crane
department, such as the gangway for the cruise vessels.
The Crane Maintenance Department is a team of multi-talented individuals that
work together as one cohesive unit to help Baltimore keep its position as one
of the top cargo ports in the United States.
