Liebherr introduces new SCR parts kit
Liebherr has compiled a new service kit for the repair of SCR systems of Stage IV/Tier 4F and Stage V machines. Especially these types of repairs require immediate attention in order to keep costs and standstill time to a minimum. Site personnel can carry out repairs immediately without the need to call in external services.
The SCR parts kit contains original parts from Liebherr. These are subject to the same rigorous quality inspections as the machines themselves. They are perfectly tailored to Liebherr diesel engines and so provide the optimum compatibility required of individual parts. An accompanying manual clearly explains all components and tools and describes the corresponding working steps in detail. The sensitive SCR components are housed in a robust and specially adapted case in order to provide ideal storage, as well as high flexibility and mobility.
Should an SCR issue arise on a machine the timeline for troubleshooting is dictated by international laws and regulations and is defined by four levels. The first three levels result in graduating power reductions. However, time is of the essence. Level 1 must be remedied within 60 minutes of the first warning, level 2 within 170 minutes and level 3 within 200 minutes. Level 4 troubleshooting and repair can be carried out only once. If this one attempt fails, a Liebherr service technician is required to repair and reset the SCR system.
Using the SCR parts kit, the troubleshooting for all four levels can all be easily performed by site staff. This new support for customers provides a major benefit in maintaining the timeline and overcoming external factors.
All components and parts, including the new SCR parts kit, are quickly and easily obtainable 24/7 from the online portal MyLiebherr.

Port Authority of Guam set to remove inoperable cranes
The demolition and removal of the old gantry cranes will soon begin now that the Port Authority of Guam Board of Directors has approved the project award.
The Board of Directors yesterday approved the award to Guam Industrial Services DBA Guam Shipyard for the Design/Demolition Bid for Demolition Removal and Proper Disposal of 5 Port Inoperable Cranes and Optional Removal/ Proper Disposal of One Barge YFN 816 Along Wharf F-6.
“I want to thank all the divisions who are a part of this endeavor. It is a culmination of a lot of work and time to put the bid packet together and to also ensure that we are compliant with the procurement process,” Port General Manager Rory J. Respicio said during yesterday’s meeting. “This project will also help generate money for the Port as the space that will be freed up by the removal of all of this equipment will then be able to be utilized which will bring in wharfage and dockage fees.”
Board Member Dorothy P. Harris commended Respicio and the agency divisions for their work on the project.
“It’s been decades since we’ve been trying to disposed of these old equipment and by removing them, it will expand use of container yard as well as access to the container yard, waterfront area and especillay F-6 which we have not been able to use for so long,” Harris said yesterday. “This is wonderful news, thank you again everyone for all your hard work.”
On December 31, 2020, a Multi-Step Invitation for Bid was issued and published soliciting qualified companies/firms to design a demolition and safety plan to properly remove and dispose of five (5) Port inoperable cranes and optional one (1) barge YFN 816. A pre-bid conference and site inspection was held on January 25, 2021. Only one company, the Guam Industrial Services DBA: Guam Shipyard, submitted a bid packet for the project.
The purpose of the project is to safely dismantle archaic, damaged, and inoperable assets by disassembling and cutting the cranes and equipment into manageable pieces that will eventually be shipped offsite to an approved disposal facility. As allowed in the procurement process, Guam Shipyard presented a power point presentation of their demolition plan to the evaluation committee and submitted a bid amount of $2,573,155.00, inclusive of the demolition, removal and disposal of Gantry No. 2 and No. 3, one mobile harbor crane, two rubber tire gantry cranes and one barge YFN 816 at Wharf F-6. Funding for this project is 100% provided by the Port Authority of Guam.
The Port will now be requesting final review and approval from the PUC.

Gantry cranes No. 2 and 3 at the Port of Guam are included in the demolition and removal project.

CLEAN PACIFIC Conference planned for August
The CLEAN PACIFIC Conference & Exhibition will take place August 17-18, 2021, at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington in Renton, WA. Those who cannot attend in-person can attend virtually. The CLEAN PACIFIC Conference is part of the CLEAN Event portfolio and is owned and managed by Access Intelligence, LLC.
The CLEAN Events were created to serve the spill response industry in prevention, preparedness, and response by hosting a forum that facilitates an open exchange of ideas, case studies, and best practices for stakeholders from government, environmental, emergency planning and response industries throughout maritime, facilities, rail, and pipeline. While the nature of each event is similar, each one draws a unique audience based on the physical response environment and regional differences, allowing attendees to build necessary and important working relationships prior to an incident occurring.
Access Intelligence LLC is a B2B publishing and event company serving multiple markets by creating exceptional experiences that ignite connection and commerce.
This August, CLEAN PACIFIC will bring together the tight-knit response community in the Western United States and Canada to address spill prevention, response and remediation matters pertinent to that region’s environmental sensitivities. The goal of CLEAN PACIFIC is to deliver a valuable event that covers region-specific issues that face the Western United States and Canada and offer ample time for attendees to network and cultivate relationships with all parties involved in incident command and the communities that may be impacted. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with professionals from maritime, facilities, rail, pipeline, and governmental agencies during dedicated networking activities, conference sessions, on the exhibit floor, and in the virtual platform.
Topics of discussion in conference sessions will focus on region-specific issues that offer real strategies and solutions for what attendees face in the Western United States and Canada. Those in attendance, both in-person and virtually, will find an abundance of networking opportunities to engage with each other. In addition, vendors will be available in exhibit hall, as well as virtual platform, ready to help attendees find solutions to their environmental and emergency response needs.
