Conbit provides crane services such as leasing, maintenance, compatibility analysis, and conversion solutions to maritime cranes. These cranes are not always the best for our environment as oil leaks often happen. To resolve this problem Conbit created the Hydro Switch service. This service provides installation and maintenance of cranes to be compatible with biodegradable hydraulic oil.
A big issue with maritime vessels is that there are times when the hydraulic systems can leak, when oil leaks into the ocean it can have detrimental consequences on marine life and the pollution levels on water, if biodegradable oil leaks into the ocean, the consequences are not as destructive because the biodegradable oil breaks down naturally and much quicker than petroleum-based oil. (Rana et al., 2017) These leaks can also cause equipment to operate inefficiently or break down, leading to downtime on vessels. This downtime hinders productivity and revenue.
In the above shown figure it is shown that oil leaks have been occurring more frequently in the last decade. This creates a huge environmental concern, and this issue should be taken seriously. Conbit actively seeks solutions to environmental issues involving maritime cranes and oil vessels.
