API Spec 2C – Offshore Pedestal-mounted Cranes Eighth Edition Includes Errata 1 (2021)
This specification provides requirements for design construction and testing of new offshore pedestal-mounted cranes. For the purposes of this specification offshore cranes are defined as pedestal-mounted elevating and rotating lift devices for transfer of materials and personnel to or from marine vessels barges and structures; or for transfer of materials to or from the sea or the seabed.
Typical applications can include:
a) offshore oil exploration and production applications—these cranes are typically mounted on a fixed (bottom-supported) structure floating structure or vessel used in drilling and production operations;
b) shipboard applications—these cranes are mounted on surface-type vessels and are used to move cargo containers and other materials while the crane is within a harbor or sheltered area; and
c) crane vessel applications—these cranes are typically mounted on shipshaped vessels semi-submersibles barges or self-elevating type marine vessels specialized in lifting heavy and/or unique loads for construction pipe lay renewable energy salvage and subsea applications in both harbor and offshore waters.
While there are many configurations of pedestal-mounted cranes covered in the scope of this specification it is not intended to be used for the design fabrication and testing of davits or emergency escape devices. This specification does not cover the use of cranes for life-saving applications or for the launch and recovery of manned underwater units such as diving bells or submersibles.
