Rent A Grab Service

Mechanical and hydraulic cargo grab rental for bulk discharge — clamshell, orange peel and scrap grabs delivered, fitted and maintained at all Bangladesh ports.

Overview

Professional Rent A Grab Services

Sea First Marine Service supplies cargo grabs on rental to bulk carriers, terminal operators, stevedores and cargo receivers discharging at Chittagong, Mongla, Payra and outer anchorage. Our fleet of mechanical and hydraulic grabs covers a wide range of capacities and cargo types, allowing a vessel to begin discharge without waiting for equipment to arrive from abroad.

Grabs are inspected, load-tested, greased and delivered ready for immediate service, complete with slings, shackles, spare parts and, where required, a technician to fit and commission the unit onboard. Short-term, per-voyage and long-term rental arrangements are available at competitive daily rates.

Ready Fleet, Immediate Availability

Waiting for a grab is waiting demurrage. We hold a maintained rental fleet in Chittagong and Mongla so that a suitable unit can be trucked to the berth or barged to anchorage within hours of confirmation, keeping discharge on schedule.

Matched to Cargo & Crane

Selecting the wrong grab damages cargo, crane and hatch coaming. We match volume, tare weight, closing force and rope configuration to the vessel's crane SWL and the cargo's bulk density, whether that is light grain or heavy iron ore.

Maintenance Included

Rental includes routine greasing, rope inspection, bearing checks and hydraulic servicing throughout the hire period. Should a grab fail during discharge, our technicians attend onboard and a replacement unit is dispatched so the operation continues.

Load Tested & Certified

Every grab leaves our yard with a current load test certificate, inspection record and dimensional data sheet, satisfying terminal, class and P&I requirements before the first lift.

Flexible Commercial Terms

Rental is offered per day, per voyage, per tonne discharged or on long-term charter for project cargoes and terminal operators, with transparent invoicing and no hidden mobilisation charges.
