www.alatas.com

Alatas was founded in 1988 to service owners of
ship and offshore cranes, acting as an alternative
to the OEM for supply of crane parts, service and
technical consultancy.
Crane support still serves as a core product
service line offered by Alatas and we now have
an expanded range of services including various
inspection, repair and technical management
activities. We work primarily in the marine,
offshore oil and gas, energy and heavy lift sectors.
We are committed to providing 24/7 service
support for our customers globally and our
strategically placed local service centres are on
hand to provide just that, helping to reduce costs
in the mobilisation of staff, equipment, parts and
tools.
We strive to employ the very best talent and
have built a solid base of technical experts with
countless years of experience spanning the
various services that we supply.
Key to our development is our investment
in people, with training and competency
management being fundamental to our
organisation growth, goals and objectives.
We take pride in the capability of our field service
team with a plethora of high calibre engineers,
expert surveyors and senior technical personnel
with an emphasis on “good old fashioned”
customer service. All of our staff share our
vision of providing our customers with an
optimal solution at every opportunity.

Our global service centres provide on hand
support via technical management, highly
skilled field engineers and technicians, parts
stocking and expert part sales staff wherever
and whenever our customers require. We are
proud to offer in-house hydraulic, electrical and
mechanical workshops in the majority of our
locations with an engineering excellence hub,
Alatas Crane Design, based in Austria, supporting
engineering and upgrade requirements
Every individual has a right to a healthy and
safe working environment and that is why we
make our commitment to HSE, a requirement
for everyone in the organisation. We use
policies, procedures and continual feedback
and communication to promote a culture of
HSE embraced by all levels of employee in
our global family.
We operate to the highest standards
achievable and have gained accreditation
and recognition in different areas by various
industry groups, including API-U, DNV, LR,
LEEA as well as being a contributor to IADC’s
task force for crane standards. Constant
improvement is our philosophy and as such,
our company practices constantly adapt and
evolve in order that we can set the standard
in optimum service.

Our core business is crane service with a
long working history on various brands
of offshore and marine cranes.
We offer a full range of crane service, complemented
by our associated services of crane modernisation,
crane parts, NDT, hose service and workshop support.
We pride ourselves on the intelligence, hard work
ethic and experience of our first class crane service
technicians and are dedicated to performing an
excellent service on every attendance. Our team
has an in-depth knowledge of class and regulatory
requirements, as well as understanding and
appreciating that each customer has both individual
circumstances and needs and therefore our
attendance, planning and maintenance programmes
are always compiled on a case by case basis.

CRANE
MODERNISATION
SERVICES
Increasingly, crane owners find themselves with
equipment that does not satisfy their requirements
due to obsolete electronic and hydraulic drive systems,
limited parts availability, outdated safety systems
or simply a lack of support from the original crane
manufacturer.
At Alatas, our aim is to keep material handling equipment operating safely,
efficiently and economically. We therefore offer our crane modernisation
services via our local service centres globally.
Crane modernisation/upgrades can include electronic, hydraulic and
structural upgrades and meet the latest class, (ABS, DNV, LR) certification
according to the modern design standards (API, EN).

CONDITION EVALUATION / INSPECTIONS
When a crane is due for an annual or five year inspection, Alatas certified inspectors
will conduct a thorough examination based on the sectors’ regulatory requirements.

CRANE PARTS
Alatas have acted as an alternative source of crane parts from the OEM for the last 25 years and
have built an extensive database of information on many brands of offshore and marine cranes. All
of our expert crane parts sales staff utilise a global shared knowledge database, enabling Alatas
to source many parts locally to our customers’ assets, rather than having to ship from overseas.
We have excellent supplier relations in every corner of the globe via our strategically placed service
stations and as such, can source the correct components with economical pricing and excellent
delivery.
We hold substantial stock of high turnover and critical items as well as offering service exchange
programmes on many larger long lead items such as pumps, motors and winches. We can also
refurbish and test many components and our expert service staff can provide support with
installation and commissioning.
Our engineering group will also assist with obsolete components by researching, designing and
calculating replacement components in order to keep our customers’ equipment in operation.

HOSE MANAGEMENT
SERVICES
Alatas provides proven hose management services. Our customers own assets with many pieces
of equipment, each with a multitude of flexible hose assemblies (FHA). Managing such a large
number of high risk components is a challenging task for any end user. Alatas hose management
services takes on that challenge and provides manageable solutions for owners, operators and
maintenance personnel.
Hose management starts with understanding your assets. Our initial process is to complete baseline
surveys whereby we tag and measure every flexible hose assembly on an asset and compile a hose
register. Defects and rectification requirements are also recorded during the process as well as
relevant information such as access requirements and criticality of each FHA. We then provide an
online access portal to your asset information with full functionality allowing for the running of
various types of reports on the current status of your equipment. To support our data and reporting
service, we offer full in-situ hose manufacturing and testing services via our hose teams and hose
installation containers. All of our on-site hose containers are certified according to DNV 2.71
standards and we regularly undertake major hydraulic hose change out projects on vessels, rigs,
platforms and heavy equipment.

About Our DNV Certified Offshore Hose
Container Workshop Services
The Alatas Offshore Hose Workshop is designed to include all the required
equipment to make complete hose change outs as quick and simple as
possible.
Benefits of our container workshops include the ability to cut, crimp, clean and test hoses in-situ
offshore. Alatas also has an Ultra Clean hose and tube cleaning system for cleaning out hoses
and hydraulic lines.
Our 20’ offshore hose workshops are constructed in compliance with regulations EN12079-
1;2006/DNV2.7-1;2006 and are therefore certified for use offshore by both DNV and Lloyds.

drilling equipment and tools, pedestal and overhead cranes, fixed lifting equipment,
lifeboats and life raft launch and recovery systems (LARS) and loose fitting equipment.
All equipment inspected is entered in to our AMOT database reporting system which
meets LOLER requirements. This generates the certificates and reports that are
accessible to the client when they need them.
In addition, we provide proof load testing services as per clients’ requirements.
All Alatas personnel are trained to the highest standard through both internal and
external training and undergo regular external competency assessments to ensure they
are up to date with all the relevant procedures and standards.

DROPS INSPECTIONS
Alatas Access Inspections are a leading provider of dropped object surveys
and associated support services. Our customers include drilling contractors

of dropped objects is vital to all of our business units.
We have a team of key personnel as part of the DROPS committee team and our interest in reducing
risk and hazard prevention are second to none.
We are proud to introduce a full pro-active and traceable service to ensure that we solve as many
issues as possible on site, so as to reduce or eliminate the amount of faults/failures in the report
and to reduce items to be attended to in the future.
