About Port of Miami Crane Management
Since August 5, 2002, Port of Miami Crane Management, Inc., (PMCM, AKA “Crane Management”) has been responsible for the management and maintenance of the Port of Miami gantry cranes and container handling equipment. Our primary goal is to increase crane efficiency and reduce downtime by continuously enhancing the maintenance program, establishing new procedures and implementing cost effective maintenance measures.
August 4, 2010 marked our eighth year of operation providing the Port of Miami and its maritime community with the required services to improve crane reliability, throughput efficiency and capacity. This was clearly seen by the Port achieving its one million TEU a-year-goal in 2003 and the reduction of overall crane downtime to an all-time low in 2010.
With emphasis on proactive planning, effective maintenance and implementation of refurbishment programs; crane downtime, with a few exceptions, continues to decrease. In fiscal year 2008, Crane Management recorded 0.84% downtime, the lowest overall ever. In the previous years we recorded overall downtimes of 1.28% in 2004, 1.08% in 2007, and, 0.46% in 2010.
Unlike August 2004 and October 2004 which were the busiest crane usage months on record at the Port of Miami, fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09 experienced the lowest usage recorded since the late 1990′s. As the downward trend in overall crane usage reached its lowest levels in 2008-09, an upturn was realized in 2010 when by year’s-end crane usage commenced a steady climb which is more pronounced in 2011.
As Crane Management continually strives for excellence, it continues providing proactive maintenance and performing significant repairs of the ailing cranes. Our staff’s number one goal is to meet the needs of the customer with quality service, support and crane efficiency.
Work in Progress
As we commenced 2011 we found ourselves working on numerous projects encompassing all aspects of our operation including assisting the Port with crane relate projects. Below is a listing of some of these works;
