Emergency 600,000 Pound Ship Repair and Relocation
An emergency call was placed due to a mechanical issue with the ship loader. The boom cable snapped, causing the boom’s weight to slide backward, hitting the main unit, tearing the rails out of the ground, and derailing the loader. The Gulf Coast Industrial team was assigned to fix the loader, the boom cables, and the rail tracks and relocate the unit.
