S-618 Offshore Pedestal Mounted Cranes launched for user feedback review

JIP33 has issued the S-618 Offshore Pedestal Mounted Cranes specification for user feedback review.  The consultation period will run for four weeks and will close on Sunday, 21 February 2021 at 23:00 GMT.

The purpose of this user feedback review is to capture your assessment on the requirements of an existing specification so that we can further our stated goals of improving procurement and delivery of equipment for the oil and gas industry.  This is the first step in the update and revision of our specifications and is a chance for purchasers and suppliers to be able to comment on how the current specification requirements can be improved.  During the revision process, the document will be updated in accordance with API Specification 2C, 8th Edition, October 2020.

The JIP33 standardized procurement specification follows a common document structure comprising of four documents, which together with the purchase order define the overall technical specification for procurement.

It has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.

Updates and future specifications will be announced via the project’s mailing list, LinkedIn and Twitter profile.
