World Crane Services (WCS), the leading engineering and inspection service provider, today launches WCS Consultancy, a consulting business that offers a range of operational and QHSE services to ports and terminals looking for tailored solutions.
Founded in 2002, WCS is expanding its service offering to provide industry-renowned advisory services to clients who are faced with ever-developing challenges. From terminal operators and port developers to port authorities and government agencies, WCS Consultancy will identify practical solutions suitable for clients’ needs, including operational support, training, project management and engineering services.
The WCS Consultancy team will use WCS’s extensive knowledge to provide these new services. Since it came to market, WCS has provided Third Party Inspections to 185 ship-to-shore container cranes (including 41 tandem), 218 rubber tyre gantry cranes and 120 rail mounted gantry cranes in over 30 countries worldwide.
Working hand-in-hand with the client to design a custom solution, WCS Consultancy’s aim is to drive customer profitability and operational excellence through efficiency improvement and skills development.
Chief Operating Officer of World Crane Services, Ayman Eldawi said: “With a vast experience of terminal development and operations, plus a demonstrated track record of continuous optimisation, clients can be assured that WCS Consultancy are fully engaged to identify, understand and solve problems. Whether this is to an already-operating terminal or a development project, we aim to give invaluable unbiased opinions ensuring clarity on the potential and risks of any decision or direction.”
WCS is an independently run business owned by global end-to-end logistics provider DP World. This set up allows the use of global resources and expertise while operating in an individual basis, separate from the main operational body of the parent group.
Senior Vice President, Global Operations and Engineering at DP World, Matthew Hoag said: “With a strong focus on delivering the best possible quality of service, efficiency, reliability and customer satisfaction, WCS has always applied this ethos to each and every project. So, it was no surprise that there have been increasing requests for their expanded services to fill an obvious gap in the market of providers who are also port operators.”
WCS Consultancy is already in talks with customers around the globe, with 30 projects currently under assessment.
