Featured Solution: Custom Side-port Module with Shell Door and Cargo Crane
A customer needed a modular build for a side-port shell door and cargo crane to increase shipyard efficiency and reduce labor costs. Jered developed and installed the turn-key side-port module with shell door and cargo crane system to fit those requirements.
The system combines what was previously sold and installed as separate components, which allowed us to integrate the components and test them together prior to shipment. This eliminates the need for multiple different tests in different locations.
Module includes:
- Structural shell
- Electric actuated two-stage cargo crane with control station
- Variable speed drive (VSD) for crane operation
- Contractor-based motor controller for shell door operation
- Dynamic braking resistor and isolation transformer for VSD
- Spring-loaded electrical cable reel for crane boom lights
Watertight, Gaslight, Weathertight Door Systems
Jered also designs and manufactures watertight, gaslight, and weathertight door systems for a wide variety of naval applications. Our door systems can be enhanced with COMFIRE® technology, the industry-leading fire insulation that meets the strictest safety standards for naval, commercial marine, and nuclear applications. Products are available in standard configurations or with additional coverings to achieve fire resistant ratings, including A15, A30, and A60.
