Root cause analysis for ports and container terminals
Practical root cause guides for container terminal equipment: STS and quay cranes, RTGs, engines, motors and the downtime they cause.
RTG engine failure: how to find the root cause
RTG engine failures coming back? A practical root cause guide: evidence to collect, causes by system, a worked 5 Whys and actions that last.
RTG engine overheating: causes and what to check
RTG engine overheating or engine-room over-temperature alarms? The usual causes, a symptom table, why airflow and alarm limits matter, and a worked 5 Whys.
Quay crane hoist motor failure: common root causes
Quay crane and STS hoist motor failures: common root causes (moisture, blocked ventilation, overheating, bearings, brush gear), what to collect and an example.
STS crane breakdown: a root cause checklist
A practical checklist for STS crane breakdowns: what to record in the first hour, how to classify by system, and when to start a full root cause analysis.
Reducing container terminal equipment downtime with root cause analysis
How container terminals use root cause analysis to cut repeat breakdowns: find the repeat failures, set triggers, close actions and measure the results.
